81342 I/O Processor Features
The 81342 2-core combines two Intel XScale
®
processors with powerful new features
to create an intelligent I/O storage processor. This single- or multi-function PCI device
is fully compliant with the PCI-X 2.0 and PCI Express 1.0 specifications. 81342 2-core-
specific features include:
The 81342 2-core core is based upon two Intel XScale
®
processors. The core processor
operates at a maximum frequency of 1.5 GHz. The instruction cache is 32 Kbytes in
size and is 32-way set associative. Also, the core processor includes a data cache that
is 32 Kbytes and is 32-way set associative and a mini data cache that is 2 Kbytes and is
2-way set associative. Both Intel XScale
®
processors support unified 512-KByte Level 2
(L2) cache and is 8-way set associative.
The 81342 2-core includes sixteen General Purpose I/O (GPIO) pins.
The subsections that follow briefly overview each feature. Refer to the appropriate
chapter for full technical descriptions.
1.5.1
Host Interface
The The 81341 1-core provides both a PCI-X 2.0 and a PCI Express interface. Either
interface can be connected upstream to the Host processor. Either interface on 81341
and 81342 is setup as a single-function PCI device. The upstream PCI interface is
selected using an external strap. The Address Translation Unit (ATU) and the Messaging
Unit (MU) provide the programming interface between the host processor and the
81341 and 81342.
