Section 14. CPU Interface Design Considerations
The CPU interface is used to connect the GT-64260A and the CPU.
The GT-64260A CPU interface is a 60x bus compatible master and slave. In addition, it is a MPX bus compatible
slave.
Note
As an MPX bus compatible slave, this interface only supports "address only bus mastering" for snooping
capability.
The GT-64260A CPU interface internal 60x arbiter supports up to two external 60x masters and the GT-64260A
60x master. The MPX internal arbiter supports one external MPX master and the GT-64260A MPX master, for
address only transactions. In Multi-GT mode, the GT-64260A supports up to four slaves connected on the same
60x bus.
The GT-64260A CPU bus configuration and internal bus arbiter and multi-GT support is sampled at reset accord-
ing to the following configuration.
14.1 CPU Interface Connectivity
The CPU bus connectivity is according to the 60x/MPX specification
