Inverse Multiplexing for ATM (IMA)
MPC8260 PowerQUICC II Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2
Freescale Semiconductor 33-19
Cell Reception Task

- Each IMA Link follows a Four-State Ma chine

- Received ICP Cell (AAL0 specific chan nel) are processed by the driver to control the State Ma chine

- According to the Link’s state, the Microcode executes dif ferent Tasks

Group Unassigned
Link IFSM Unsynchronized
Link Delay Unsynchronized
No Link Defect
IRLCNTL.GA=1 (Set by the driver)

Microcode Actions

- screen incoming cells
- keep only ICP cells, discard other cells

Configuration to reach to move to next state

- Group & Link initialized by the driver based
on the ICP content ( Link’s M value, ICP
- screen incoming cells
- search for one ICP cell
- look for several lCP cells in expected
- IMA Frame Sequence Number Validation
IFSW INT generated (IMA_event) to the driver
- data ATM cell reception enable
- “New Group Link Delay Synchro Algo”
OR
- “Added Link Delay Synchro Algo”
IGRSTATE.GDSS=1 (all links of the Group
- Group achieves delay synchronization
either GDS INT in case of Group Start Up
Procedure or LDS INT in case of added Link
