Mobile Scalable Link Controller
The PXA300 processor or PXA310 processor contains provides a low-power, scalable, high-speed, narrow,
chip-to-chip physical link interface for mobile or wireless platforms called the Intel
®
Mobile Scalable Link
(Intel
®
MSL). The Intel
®
MSL controller and its physical link pins meet the requirements of the Intel® Personal
Internet Client Architecture, which describes the framework for rapidly building and deploying wireless devices.
For more information on the Intel
®
MSL, refer to the Intel
®
Mobile Scalable Link External Architecture
Specification.
The Intel
®
MSL controller has these key features:
•
Two independent, high-speed, unidirectional physical link interfaces, one inbound and one outbound
•
Links have scalable data-channel width options of 4, 2, or 1 bits
•
Asynchronous clocking from 0 to 48 MHz per link
•
Transfer rates per link up to 96 Mbps
•
14 independent logical data channels (7 inbound, 7 outbound) for managing multiple simultaneous data
streams
•
Large 64-byte FIFO buffer for each logical data channel
•
Round-robin FIFO service with independent enables and configuration options
•
Single- or multiple-burst transfers
•
Support for DMA, interrupt, or poll driven operation
•
64 virtual general-purpose I/Os (GPIOs) for controlling and sensing virtual GPIO bits or physical GPIO pins
without dedicated external pins in an Intel
®
MSL-compatible remote device
1.2.22
Serial Ports
The PXA300 processor or PXA310 processor provides a rich set of serial controllers for general system use. All
ports can be accessed through programmed I/O or through descriptor-based DMA transfers.Pins on ports not
being used can be configured as GPIOs. The following sections describe these ports.
1.2.22.1
UARTS
The PXA300 processor or PXA310 processor provides three UARTs. UART 1 supports the full set of modem
control signals. All UARTs have these features:
•
Functionally compatible with the 16550A and 16750
•
Adds or deletes standard asynchronous communication bits (start, stop, and parity) to or from the serial data
•
Independently controlled transmit, receive, line-status, and data-set interrupts
•
Programmable serial interface characteristics:
— 7- or 8-bit characters
— Even, odd, or no parity detection
— 1 stop-bit generation
