Memory Controller
MPC8260 PowerQUICC II Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2
11-14 Freescale Semiconductor
23 WP Write protect. Can restrict write accesses within the address range of a BR. An attempt to write to
this address range while WP = 1 can cause TEA to be asserted by the bus monitor logic (if
enabled) which terminates the cycle.
0 Read and write accesses are allowed.
1 Only read accesses are allowed. The memory controller does not assert CSx and PSDVAL on
write cycles to this memory bank. TESCR1[WP] or L_TESCR1[WP] (depending on which bus is
being used) is set if a write to this memory bank is attempted.
24–26 MS Machine select. Specifies machine select for the memory operations handling and assigns the
bank to the 60x or local bus if GPCM or SDRAM are selected. If UPM
x
is selected, the bus
assignment is determined by M
x
MR[BSEL].
000 GPCM—60x bus (reset value)
001 GPCM—local bus
010 SDRAM—60x Bus
011 SDRAM—loca l bus
100 UPMA
101 UPMB
110 UPMC
111 Reserved
27 EMEMC External MEMC enable. Overrides MS and assigns the bank to the 60x bus. However, other BRx
fields remain in effect. See Section11.2.10, “External Memory Controller Support.”
0 Access are handled by the memory controller according to MS.
1 Access are handled by an external memory controller (or other slave) on the 60x bus. The
external memory controller is expected to assert AACK, TA, and PSDVAL.
28–29 ATOM Atomic operation. See Section11.2.8, “Atomic Bus Operation.”
00 The address space controlled by the memory controller bank is not used for atomic operations.
01 Read-after-write-atomic (RAWA).Writes to the address space handled by the memory controller
bank cause the PowerQUICCII to lock the bus for the exclusive use of the master. The lock is
released when the master performs a read operation from this address space. This feature is
intended for CAM operations.
10 Write-after-read-atomic (WARA). Reads from the address space handled by the memory
controller bank cause the PowerQUICCII to lock the bus for the exclusive use of the accessing
device. The lock is released when the device performs a write operation to this address space.
11 Reserved
Note:If the device fails to release the bus, the lock is released after 256 clock cycles.
30 DR Data pipelining. See Section 11.2.9, “Data Pipelining.”
0 No data pipelining is done.
1 Data beats of accesses to the address space controlled by the memory controller bank are
delayed by one cycle. This feature is intended for memory regions that use ECC or parity checks
and need to improve data setup time.
31 V Valid bit. Indicates that the contents of the BR
x
and
OR
x
pair are valid. The CS signal does not
assert until V is s et.
0 This bank is invalid.
1 This bank is valid
Note:An access to a region that has no V bit set may cause a bus monitor time-out. After a system
reset, BR0[V] is set.
Note:Note: If BR
x
has been selected as the SDRAM controller and BR
x
[31] has been set, the
SDRAM controller must be invalidated by doing the following:
1. Disable the SDRAM refresh service by clearing PSDMR/LSDMR[RFEN].
2. Wait at least 100 60x-bus clock cycles.
3. Clear BR
x
[V].
