The communications processor module (CPM) provides a ßexible and integrated approach
to communications-intensive environments. To reduce system frequency and save power,
the CPM has its own independent RISC communications processor (CP) that is optimized
for serial communications. The CP services several integrated communications channels,
performing low-level protocol processing and controlling DMA.
The CPM supports multiple communications channels and protocols, and it has ßexible
Þrmware programmability. The CPM frees the core of many computational tasks in the
following ways:
¥
By reducing the interrupt rate. The core is interrupted only upon frame reception or
transmission, instead of on a per-character basis.
¥
By implementing some of the OSI layer-2 processing, which provides more core
bandwidth for higher layer processing.
¥
By supporting multibuffer memory data structures that are convenient for software
handling.
The MPC860 CPM is similar to the one in the MPC850 and both are derived from the CPM
in the MC68360 QUICC; see the MC68360 Quad Integrated Communications Controller
(QUICC) UserÕs Manual.

Figure 18-1 shows a block diagram of the CPM.
