Functional Overview

Datasheet

2.2.3

Instruction Memory Management Unit (IMMU)

For instruction pre-fetches, the IMMU controls logical-to-physical address translation, memory

access permissions, memory-domain identifications, and attributes (governing operation of the

instruction cache). The IMMU contains a 32-entry, fully associative instruction-translation,

look-aside buffer (ITLB) that has a round-robin replacement policy. ITLB entries zero through 30

can be locked.

When an instruction pre-fetch misses in the ITLB, the IMMU invokes an automatic table-walk

mechanism that fetches an associated descriptor from memory and loads it into the ITLB. The

descriptor contains information for logical-to-physical address translation, memory-access

permissions, memory-domain identifications, and attributes governing operation of the I-cache.

The IMMU then continues the instruction pre-fetch by using the address translation just entered

into the ITLB. When an instruction pre-fetch hits in the ITLB, the IMMU continues the pre-fetch

using the address translation already resident in the ITLB.

Access permissions for each of up to 16 memory domains can be programmed. When an

instruction pre-fetch is attempted to an area of memory in violation of access permissions, the

attempt is aborted and a pre-fetch abort is sent to the core for exception processing. The IMMU and

DMMU can be enabled or disabled together.

2.2.4

Data Memory Management Unit (DMMU)

For data fetches, the DMMU controls logical-to-physical address translation, memory-access

permissions, memory-domain identifications, and attributes (governing operation of the data cache

or mini-data cache and write buffer). The DMMU contains a 32-entry, fully associative

data-translation, look-aside buffer (DTLB) that has a round-robin replacement policy. DTLB

entries 0 through 30 can be locked.

When a data fetch misses in the DTLB, the DMMU invokes an automatic table-walk mechanism

that fetches an associated descriptor from memory and loads it into the DTLB. The descriptor

contains information for logical-to-physical address translation, memory-access permissions,

memory-domain identifications, and attributes (governing operation of the D-cache or mini-data

cache and write buffer).

The DMMU continues the data fetch by using the address translation just entered into the DTLB.

When a data fetch hits in the DTLB, the DMMU continues the fetch using the address translation

already resident in the DTLB.

Access permissions for each of up to 16 memory domains can be programmed. When a data fetch

is attempted to an area of memory in violation of access permissions, the attempt is aborted and a

data abort is sent to the core for exception processing.

The IMMU and DMMU can be enabled or disabled together.

2.2.5

Instruction Cache (I-Cache)

The I-cache can contain high-use, multiple-code segments or entire programs, allowing the core

access to instructions at core frequencies. This prevents core stalls caused by multi-cycle accesses

to external memory.
