7.1 Overview
The ARM926EJ-S is a powerful processor, targeted for multi-tasking applications.
Belonging to ARM9 general purposes family microprocessor, its main outstanding feature is
its Memory management unit, which provides virtual memory features, making it also
compliant with advanced operating system, like Linux.
The ARM926EJ-S supports the 32 bit ARM and 16 bit thumb instruction sets, enabling the
user to trade off between high performance and high code density and includes features for
efficient execution of byte code Java mode.
Additionally, it has the ARM debug architecture and includes logic to assist in software
debug.
Main features are:
●
Max CPU frequency 333 MHz (downward scalable).
●
MMU.
●
16 Kbyte of instruction cache + 16 Kbyte of data cache.
●
AMBA bus interface.
●
JTAG and ETM9 (embedded trace macro-cell) for debug, large size version.
