UBM

Host Flags

 

 

 

PCI

Indicate the state of host flags HF[2–0], respectively, in the Host Control

 

 

 

 

Register (HCTR) on the host side. Only the host processor can change

 

 

 

 

HF[2–0]. In PCI mode (DCTR[HM] = $1), the HF[2–0] bits are updated

 

 

 

 

at the end of a transaction. Personal hardware reset clears HF[2–0].

 

 

 

 

Note:

A potential problem exists when the status bits HF[2–0] are

 

 

 

 

 

read as an encoded triad. During personal hardware reset,

 

 

 

 

 

these bits are cleared asynchronously. For example: If

 

 

 

 

 

HF[2–0] change from 111 to 000, there is a small probability

 

 

 

 

 

the DSP56300 core could read the bits during transition and

 

 

 

 

 

receive 001 or 110 or other combinations instead of 000. To

 

 

 

 

 

avoid this problem, the DSP56300 core must read these bits

 

 

 

 

 

twice and check for consensus.

SRRQ

0

UBM

Slave Receive Data Request

 

 

 

PCI

Indicates that the receive data FIFO (DRXR) contains data written by

 

 

 

 

the host processor to the HI32 slave. When an external host writes data

 

 

 

 

to the host-to-DSP FIFO (HTXR-DRXR), SRRQ is set. SRRQ is cleared

 

 

 

 

when the DRXR is emptied by DSP56300 core reads or the data to be

 

 

 

 

read from the DRXR is master data. When SRRQ is set:

 

 

 

 

ν If SRIE is set, a slave receive data interrupt request is generated.

 

 

 

 

ν If enabled by an DSP56300 core DMA channel, a slave receive

 

 

 

 

 

data DMA request is generated.

 

 

 

 

Note:

Side-effects of reading the empty DRXR: If the DSP56300

 

 

 

 

 

core reads the DRXR when the FIFO is empty, the SRRQ bit is

 

 

 

 

 

set. SRRQ can also be set when the OncE interface reads it

 

 

 

 

 

(or when debugging tools are used). When the DRXR is read

 

 

 

 

 

while empty, either a reset or approximately 12 more reads of

 

 

 

 

 

DRXR are required to clear SRRQ.
