Name

Description
IA[31:1]
Output
Instruction Address Bus. This is the processor instruction address bus. It changes when
GCLK
is HIGH.
IABE
Input
Instruction Address Bus Enable. This is an input which, when LOW, it puts the instruction
address bus,
IA[31:0]
, drivers into a high impedance state. This signal has the same effect on
InTRANS
and
InM[4:0]
.
If
UNIEN
is HIGH this signal is ignored.
IABORT
Input
Instruction Abort. This is an input which allows the memory system to tell the processor that
the requested instruction memory access is not allowed.
ID[31:0]
Input
Instruction Data Bus. This input bus should be driven with the requested instruction data
before the end of phase 2 of
GCLK
.
InM[4:0]
Output
Instruction Mode. These signals indicate the current mode of the processor and are in the same
form as the mode bits in the CPSR.
InMREQ
Output
Not Instruction Memory Request.
If LOW at the end of
GCLK
phase 2, the processor requires an instruction memory access
during the following cycle.
InTRANS
Output
Not Memory Translate.
When LOW, the processor is in user mode.
When HIGH, the processor is in a privileged mode.
ISEQ
Output
Instruction Sequential Address. If HIGH at the end of
GCLK
phase 2, any instruction
memory access during the following cycle is sequential from the last instruction memory
access.
ITBIT
Output
Instruction Thumb Bit.
When HIGH, the processor is in Thumb state.
When LOW, the processor is in ARM state.
