AAddress shown represents the first byte address in each block.

BThe first 192 bytes are reserved for memory-mapped registers (MMRs).

COut of the four DMA controllers, only DMA controller 3 has access to the external memory space.

DThe USB controller does not have access to DARAM.

EThe CS0 space can be accessed by CS0 only or by CS0 and CS1.

1.2.1.1On-Chip Dual-Access RAM (DARAM)

The DARAM is located in the CPU byte address range 00 00C0h - 00 FFFFh and is composed of eight blocks of 4K words each (see Table 1-2). Each DARAM block can perform two accesses per cycle (two reads, two writes, or a read and a write). DARAM can be accessed by the internal program, data, and DMA buses.

As shown in Table 1-2, the DMA controllers access DARAM at an address offset 0x0001_0000 from the CPU memory byte address space.
