The board provides 128K of
2.3.Synchronous DRAM
The board provides 4M of
Burst data transfer rates from CPU to SDRAM are 400 Mbytes/s on a Monaco with 200 MHz TMS320C6201 chips.
2.4.Processor Expansion Module
The Processor Expansion Module (PEM) provides a simple and flexible interface from the DSP to I/O. It is similar to a PMC module, although physically narrower.
The Monaco board is designed to support two DSPs per PEM site, with a pair of connectors for each DSP. While both DSP devices share the same PEM, the two DSP buses are kept separate to allow very fast PEM data transfer rates.
The PEM is capable of booting the DSPs from local ROM, with up to 4 MBytes of addressable boot space available to each DSP.
Refer to the PEM Specification for mechanical and functional details of the PEM interface.
2.5.Host Port
A separate A24 VMEbus Slave interface is used for direct access to the DSP’s Host Port Interface. This interface can be used for downloading code and as a control path from the host to the DSP. Data transfer rates depend upon both the code executing in the DSP and the VMEbus Master performing the transfers, but can be as high as 30 Mbytes/second.
Jumper block JP1 selects the VME A24 base address for this slave interface.
2.6.Interrupt Lines
There are four external interrupt inputs on each ‘C6x. They are INT4, INT5, INT6, and INT7. All four must be configured as
