3.2HPI Configuration and Data Flow

In multiplexed mode, the HPIC and HPIA must be initialized before valid host access cycles can take place. The CPU and host must follow these steps to configure the HPI initially:

1.The CPU clears the HPIRST bit in the HPI register. All host accesses will be held off by the deassertion of HRDY until HPIRST is cleared.

2.After the HPIRST bit is cleared, the host writes the HPIC register to program the halfword ordering bit (HWOB) and the HPIA-related bits (DUALHPIA and HPIARWSEL). The HWOB bit must be programmed before any accesses to the HPID and HPIA registers because this bit defines the ordering of all halfword accesses in the 16-bit multiplexed mode.

3.The host writes the desired internal DSP word address to an address register (HPIAR and/or HPIAW). Section 2 introduces the two HPIA registers and their interaction with the host.

4.The host either reads from or writes to the data register (HPID). Data transfers between HPID and the internal resources of the DSP are handled by the HPI DMA logic.

Each step of the access uses the same bus. Therefore, the host must drive the appropriate levels on the HCNTL1 and HCNTL0 signals to indicate which register is to be accessed. The host must also drive the appropriate level on the HR/W signal to indicate the data direction (read or write) and must drive other control signals as appropriate. When HPI resources are temporarily busy or unavailable, the HPI informs the host by deasserting the HPI-ready (HRDY) output signal.

When performing an access, the HPI first latches the levels on HCNTL[1:0], HR/W, and other control signals. This latching can occur on the falling edge of the internal strobe signal (see Section 3.3) or the falling edge of HAS (see Section 3.6). After the control information is latched, the HPI initiates an access based on the control signals.
