8.3Host Port Interface Control Register (HPIC)

The HPIC register stores control and status bits used to configure and operate the HPI peripheral. The bit positions of the HPIC register and their functions are illustrated in Table 8.

In 16-bit multiplexed mode, the lower 16 bits of the HPIC register are duplicated on the upper 16 bits during host accesses. Therefore, reading the upper or lower halfword of the HPIC register returns the same value.

As shown in Figure 30 and Figure 31, the host and the CPU do not have the same access permissions. The host owns HPIC and thus has full read/write access. The CPU has primarily read-only access, but the exceptions are:

The CPU can write 1 to the HINT bit to generate an interrupt to the host.

The CPU can write 1 to the DSPINT bit to clear/acknowledge an interrupt from the host.

The host port interface control register is shown in Figure 30 and Figure 31 and described in Table 8.
