Figure 14-7. Dual-Port RAM Block Diagram
The dual-port RAM can be accessed by the following:
CP load/store unit
CP block transfer module (BTM)
CP instruction fetcher (when executing microcode from RAM)
G2 60x slave
SDMA 60x bus
SDMA local bus
Note that the dual-port RAM should not be cached.
Figure 14-8 shows the memory map of the dual-port RAM.
NOTE
Starting at address 0x4000 on .25µm (HiP4) devices, an extra 8 Kbytes is
available for microcode execution only and cannot be used for data buffers
or BDs. However, when not used for microcode, the extra 8 Kbytes can be
accessed from the 60x bus for general purpose internal storage. On .29µm
(HiP3) revisions of the PowerQUICC II, this space is reserved.
