1.2 Notation Used in This Manual

Mathematical notation

Hexadecimal numbers are expressed as follows (example shown for decimal number 42) 0x2A

A K(kilo)byte is 210 = 1,024 bytes, a M(mega)byte is 220 = 1,024 x 1,024 = 1,048,576 bytes, and a G(giga)byte is 230 = 1,024 x 1,024 x 1,024 = 1,073,741,824 bytes.

Data notation

Byte: 8 bits

Halfword: 2 contiguous bytes (16 bits)

Word: 4 contiguous bytes (32 bits)

Doubleword: 8 contiguous bytes (64 bits)

Signal notation

Low active signals are indicated by an asterisk (*) at the end of the signal name (e.g.: RESET*).

Changing a signal to active level is to “assert” a signal, while changing it to a non-active level is to “de- assert” the signal.
