EXTERNAL REGISTER SET

The EXTERNAL REGISTER SET is user-provided and is external to the Falcon pair. The Falcon pair provides a static RAM style interface for the external registers. The external registers can be SRAM, ROM, Flash or some other user device. There can be one device connected to either the upper or lower Falcon, or there can be two devices with one connected to each Falcon. The devices can be 8, 16, or 32 bits wide. The data path to the external devices is via the RD32-RD63 pins. Reads to the external devices can be any size except burst. Note that if the devices are less than 32 bits wide, reads to unused data lanes will yield undefined data. Note that writes are restricted to one- or four-byte length only. Four-byte writes can be used for any size device; data should be placed on the correct portion of the data bus so that valid data is written to the device. Data duplication is turned off for the EXTERNAL REGISTER SET so writes can be to either the upper Falcon, or to the lower Falcon.

Note For descriptions of how these registers are used in the MVME2300 series boards, refer to the Falcon-Controlled System Registers section of Chapter 1, especially to System External Cache Control Register (SXCCR) and CPU Control Register.
