Communications Processor Module Overview
MPC8260 PowerQUICC II Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2
14-8 Freescale Semiconductor
14.3.6 Execution from RAM

The CP has an option to execute microcode from a portion of user RAM located in the dual-port RAM. In

this mode, the CP fetches instructions from both the dual-port RAM and its own private ROM. This mode

allows Freescale to add new protocols or enhancements to the PowerQUICCII in the form of RAM

microcode packages. If preferred, the user can obtain binary microcode from Freescale and load it into the

dual-port RAM.

14.3.7 RISC Controller Configuration Register (RCCR)

The RISC controller configuration register (RCCR), as shown in Figure 14-3, configures the CP to run

microcode from ROM or RAM and controls the CP’s internal timer.
