External Memory Interface
This chapter describes the external memory interface used by the CPU to
access off-chip memory. This chapter also describes the EMIF control
registers and their fields, and it explains how to reset the EMIF. Various
memory interfaces are described, along with diagrams showing the
connections between the EMIF and each supported memory type.
