17.9 C28x Access to EPI
The EPI peripheral is a shared resource between master subsystem (M3 and µDMA) and control
subsystem (C28x and DMA). All masters can access external devices via EPI simultaneously. Access to
each master is granted based on round-robin arbitration. EPI configuration registers are shared for READ
only between all masters. Only the master subsystem has write access to EPI configuration registers. This
means that M3 software must configure the EPI in a particular mode before C28x software can access the
external device via EPI.
