Communications Processor (CP)
The communications processor (CP), also called the RISC microcontroller, is a 32-bit controller for the
CPM that resides on a separate bus from the core and, therefore, can perform tasks independent of the G2
core. The CP handles lower-layer communications tasks and DMA control, freeing the core to handle
higher-layer activities. The CP works with the peripheral controllers and parallel port to implement
user-programmable protocols and manage the serial DMA (SDMA) channels that transfer data between
the I/O channels and memory. It also manages the IDMA (independent DMA) channels and contains an
internal timer used to implement up to 16 additional software timers.
The CP’s architecture and instruction set are optimized for data communications and data processing
required by many wire-line and wireless communications standards.
14.3.1
CPM Performance Evaluation
Because the CP is a single shared resource used by all of the CPM’s communications peripherals, the
combined service requests from all of the communications peripherals must not exceed the CP’s capacity.
The amount of processing required by a particular communications peripheral depends on the mode in
which the peripheral is configured and the maximum rate at which the channel requests service. To
determine if CPM performance and bus bandwidth consumption of a given configuration is valid, users
should consult the “MPC8260 CPM Performance Evaluator,” which is located under “Application
Software” on a device’s product page at www.freescale.com.
