LDC/STC
The
LDC
and
STC
instructions are used respectively to transfer data to and from external
coprocessor registers and memory. In the case of the ARM966E-S, the memory can be
either tightly-coupled SRAM or AHB depending on the address range of the access and
SRAM enable.
The cycle timing for these operations is shown in Figure 7-1.
Figure 7-1 LDC/STC cycle timing
In this example, four words of data are transferred. The number of words transferred is
determined by how the coprocessor drives the
CHSDE[1:0]
and
CHSEX[1:0]
buses.
As with all other instructions, the ARM9E-S performs the main decode off the rising
edge of the clock during the Decode stage. From this, the core commits to executing the
instruction and so performs an instruction fetch. The coprocessor instruction pipeline
keeps in step with ARM9E-S core by monitoring
nCPMREQ
, which is a registered
version of the ARM9E-S core instruction memory request signal
InMREQ
.
At the rising edge of
CLK
, if
CPCLKEN
is HIGH, and
nCPMREQ
is LOW, an
instruction fetch is taking place, and
CPINSTR[31:0]
contains the fetched instruction
on the next rising edge of the clock, when
CPCLKEN
is HIGH.
This means that:
•
the last instruction fetched must enter the Decode stage of the coprocessor
pipeline
