13.2.1
Software access using APB
APB provides a direct method of programming:
•
a stand-alone macrocell
•
a macrocell in a CoreSight system.
APB provides access to the programmable control registers of peripheral devices. It has these
features:
•
unpipelined protocol, that is, a second transfer cannot start before the first transfer
completes
•
every transfer takes at least two cycles.
For more information on APB transfers see
AMBA 3 APB Protocol v1.0 Specification
