Logical Memory Attributes
The i960 Jx provides a mechanism for defining two logical memory templates (LMTs). An LMT
may be used to specify the logical memory attributes for a section (or subset) of a physical
memory subsystem connected to the BCU (e.g., DRAM, SRAM). The logical memory attributes
defined by the i960 Jx are byte ordering and whether the information is cacheable or
non-cacheable in the on-chip data cache.
There are typically several different LMTs defined within a single memory subsystem. For
example, data within one area of DRAM may be non-cacheable while data in another area is
cacheable.
Figure 13-1
shows the use of the Control Table (PMCON registers) with logical
memory templates for a single DRAM region in a typical application.
