SRAM Bus Access Behavior
512 Kbytes - 4 Mbytes
1 Mbytes - 4 Mbytes
2Mbytes - 4 Mbytes
The SRAM controller within the IXP1240 will never initiate automatic bursting. Bursting is
controlled by the requestor (StrongARM* core or Microengine) depending on the type and
number of SRAM accesses needed.
Accesses are always longword 32-bit cycles on the SRAM Bus.
The IXP1240 always drives the address for each data cycle. No external address generation or
address advance control to SRAM devices is required.
Accesses from the StrongARM* core:
Accesses from the Microengines:
— Byte, word, and longword accesses generated from the StrongARM* core are supported.
— Bit operations are supported via StrongARM* core accesses to the SRAM Alias Address
— Bit, byte, and word writes result in Read-Modify-Write cycles.
— Declare memory-mapped I/O as non-cachable to prevent line fill burst cycles, and disable
— For best performance, use longword accesses to avoid Read-Modify-Write cycles on the
— The sram microinstruction defines the number of 32-bit accesses to make, up to 8
— Only bit and longword accesses are supported.
— Bit write accesses result in Read-Modify-Write cycles.
— Unlike the StrongARM* core, the Microengine microinstruction allows you to perform
