3.2.4.3 Asynchronous External Memory Interface

The EMIFS is used for transferring data between the ARM or DSP cores and the 64 MB External

NOR Flash memory (U6304). The Flash memory is a non-volatile memory unit, primarily used to

store the radio's executable code, along with device configuration values, event logs, and

initialization codes. The Flash memory is accessed during VOCON power up and power down.

3.2.4.4 Flash Memory (U6304)

The Flash memory located in close proximity to the OMAP processor is a 64 MB Intel StrataFlash.

The flash interface uses 16 data bits and 25 address bits. The flash IC is enabled by OMAP

processor's CS3 line. The flash IC also features a WAIT line that is capable of halting data flow

between the processor and flash IC.

3.2.4.5 CPLD

The CPLD (U6101) registers are also mapped to the Asynchronous External Memory Interface.

These registers control the CPLD GPIO pins and enable the OMAP to expand its GPIO capability via

memory mapped IO.

3.2.4.6 Synchronous External Memory Interface

This interfaces the OMAP to a 32 MB Double Data Rate (DDR) RAM IC (U6301). Upon boot-up

OMAP configures this interface to operate in synchronous mode at 96 MHz. This volatile memory

unit is accessed during code execution.
