10.23 Memory protection unit

SAM3S Preliminary
This section describes the Memory protection unit (MPU).
The MPU divides the memory map into a number of regions, and defines the location, size,
access permissions, and memory attributes of each region. It supports:
The memory attributes affect the behavior of memory accesses to the region. The Cortex-M3
MPU defines:
When memory regions overlap, a memory access is affected by the attributes of the region with
the highest number. For example, the attributes for region 7 take precedence over the attributes
of any region that overlaps region 7.
The background region has the same memory access attributes as the default memory map, but
is accessible from privileged software only.
The Cortex-M3 MPU memory map is unified. This means instruction accesses and data
accesses have same region settings.
If a program accesses a memory location that is prohibited by the MPU, the processor generates
a memory management fault. This causes a fault exception, and might cause termination of the
process in an OS environment.
In an OS environment, the kernel can update the MPU region setting dynamically based on the
process to be executed. Typically, an embedded OS uses the MPU for memory protection.
Configuration of MPU regions is based on memory types, see
