Register Definitions

DSP Bus Registers

There are two 32-bit registers in the DSP bus address space. The VXI FPGA does not assert TA* when these registers are accessed.

200A16

200B16

DSP Command Register

Boot Register

Note that these registers appear multiple times in the memory map, since only the address lines A31-30, A17-13, A9-8 and A3-0 are used for decoding.

The A24 registers are defined as follows:

￿Boot Register: This read/write register is used to configure the device after a device reset. It has the following format:

Spare: This read/write bit has no pre-defined function.

ST Done: This bit should be written to a one (1) when the DSP successfully competes its self-test, within five seconds after SYSRESET* is de-asserted. Its initial value is zero (0).

Loaded: This bit should be written to a one (1) when (or immediately after) the DSP loads the model code, before competing its self-test. Its initial value is zero

(0).

Ready: This bit is written to a one (1) to indicate that the device is ready for normal operation. Its initial value is zero (0).

Model Code: As soon as possible and within 25 ms after coming out of reset, when the DSP has valid code loaded, it should write the VXI model code to these bits. Their initial value is 0x0200.
