Bus Packing Enable
Enables/disables the internal packing/unpacking logic. When BPAC is set, packing is
enabled. In this mode each DMA external access initiates three external accesses to an
8-bit wide external memory (the addresses for these accesses are DAB, then DAB + 1 and
then DAB + 2). Packing to a 24-bit word (or unpacking from a 24-bit word to three 8-bit
words) is done automatically by the expansion port control hardware. The external
memory should reside in the eight Least Significant Bits (LSBs) of the external data bus,
and the packing (or unpacking for external write accesses) occurs in "Little Endian" order
(that is, the low byte is stored in the lowest of the three memory locations and is
transferred first; the middle byte is stored/transferred next; and the high byte is
stored/transferred last). When this bit is cleared, the expansion port control logic assumes
a 24-bit wide external memory.
NOTES:
1. BPAC is used only for DMA accesses and not core accesses.
2. To ensure sequential external accesses, the DMA address should advance three
steps at a time in two-dimensional mode with a row length of one and an offset size of
three. For details, refer to Motorola application note, APR23/D, Using the DSP56300
Direct Memory Access Controller .
3. To prevent improper operation, DMA address + 1 and DMA
address + 2 should not cross the AAR bank borders.
4. Arbitration is not allowed during the packing access (that is, the three accesses are
treated as one access with respect to arbitration, and the bus mastership is not
released during these accesses).
Reserved. Write to 0 for future compatibility.
Bus Y Data Memory Enable
A read/write control bit that enables/disables the AA pin and logic during external Y data
space accesses. When set, BYEN enables the comparison of the external address to the
BAC bits during external Y data space accesses. If BYEN is cleared, no address
comparison is performed.
Bus X Data Memory Enable
A read/write control bit that enables/disables the AA pin and logic during external X data
space accesses. When set, BXEN enables the comparison of the external address to the
BAC bits during external X data space accesses. If BXEN is cleared, no address
comparison is performed.
Bus Program Memory Enable
A read/write control bit that enables/disables the AA/RAS pin and logic during external
program space accesses. When set, BPEN enables the comparison of the external
address to the BAC bits during external program space accesses. If BPEN is cleared, no
address comparison is performed.
Bus Address Attribute Polarity
A read/write Bus Address Attribute Polarity (BAAP) control bit that defines whether the
AA/RAS signal is active low or active high. When BAAP is cleared, the AA/RAS signal is
active low (useful for enabling memory modules or for DRAM Row Address Strobe). If
BAAP is set, the appropriate AA/RAS signal is active high (useful as an additional address
bit).
