Chapter 1: Hardware Description
NOTE
Accesses from the CPM and the PowerSpan cannot go through the Memory Management Unit (MMU), unlike the core accesses. Therefore, the CPM and PowerSpan must use the physical addresses when accessing the SDRAMs (most significant bit = 0). Accesses to 0x8000 0000 will not address the SDRAMs.
InterruptsThe PCI bridge PowerSpan and the communication peripherals generate interrupt requests to the PowerQUICC II. These interrupts are level sensitive, active low.

Memory Controllers
The sophisticated memory controller units included in the PowerQUICC II are used on the 4538 boards to control all the external devices, except the PowerSpan, which is directly a 60x
The memory controller unit to be used is defined bank per bank. Each bank is defined by its Base Register (BRx) and its Option Register (ORx). The memory machine selection is done in the Option register.
