Group E Connections – Miscellaneous Signals
Group E connections, shown in
, are slightly different from the
others in that the inputs and outputs being routed vary considerably in
function. This group routes control signals (flags, timers, and so on) and
provides a means of connecting signals between groups. Signals with
names such as
MISCxy
appear as inputs in Group E, but do not directly
feed any peripheral. Rather, they reappear as outputs in Group D and
Group F.
Additional connections among Groups D, E, and F provide a surprising
amount of utility. Since Group D routes signals off-chip and Group F dic-
tates pin direction, these few signal paths enable an enormous number of
possible uses and connections for DAI pins. A few examples include:
• One pin’s input can be patched to another pin’s output, allowing
board-level routing under software control.
• A pin input can be patched to another pin’s enable, allowing an
off-chip signal to gate an output from the processor.
• Any of the DAI pins can be used as interrupt sources or gen-
eral-purpose I/O (GPIO) signals.
• Both input and output signals of the timers can be routed to DAI
pins. These peripherals are capable of counting in up, down, or
elapsed time modes.
• Many types of bidirectional signaling may be created by routing an
output of the PCG to a pin enable.
The SRU enables many possible functional changes, both within the pro-
cessor as well as externally. Used creatively, it allows system designers to
radically change functionality at run time, and potentially to reuse circuit
boards across many products.
