ARM Cortex A9 CPU subsystem

Processor subsystem based on the processor ARM Cortex A9, and has a dual-core configuration.

Key Features:

Each core has the following features:

  • ARM v7 processor with a clock frequency of 600 MHz
  • 32K L1 Instruction Cache parity
  • 32 KB L1 data cache parity
  • Built-in FPU operations for single and double precision data scalar floating-point
  • The memory management unit (MMU)
  • Instruction set support for ARM, Thumb2 and Thumb2-EE
  • Program Trace Macrocell (PTM) and CoreSight © component for software debugging
  • 32-bit timer with 8-bit divisor
  • The internal watchdog (also works as a timer)

Dual core configuration completes a common set of components:

  • Snoop Control Unit (SCU) for controlling communication between processes, cache memory and cache memory and transfer RAM, cache coherency
  • Shared interrupt control unit (GCA) is configured to support 128 independent interrupt sources with software configurable priorities and routing between the two nuclei
  • 64-bit global timer with an 8-bit divisor
  • Accelerator coherence port (ACP)
  • Support for parity for fault detection performance for other internal memories
  • 512 KB single 8-way associative L2 cache with ECC support
  • L2 cache controller based on ARM PL310 IP released
  • Dual asynchronous 64-bit AMBA 3 AXI interface with the ability to filter on the second use one port to access DDR memory
  • JTAG-interface and monitor port: debug and trace may be prohibited by OTP

I have not checked in here for a while as I thought it was getting boring, but the last several posts are great quality so I guess I will add you back to my everyday bloglist. You deserve it my friend Tonic Greens

When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and today when a comment is added I am four emails with the exact same comment. Could there be by any means it is possible to get rid of me from that service? Thanks! Tonic Greens

Just a fast hello and also to thank you for discussing your ideas on this web page. I wound up in your weblog right after researching physical fitness connected issues on Yahoo… guess I lost track of what I had been performing! Anyway I’ll be back once once more inside the future to examine out your blogposts down the road. Thanks! Tonic Greens

Nice post. I learn some thing tougher on diverse blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to learn content using their company writers and exercise a little from their store. I’d prefer to use some while using the content in my weblog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll provide you with a link on your own internet blog. Appreciate your sharing. Tonic Greens

The next occasion Someone said a blog, Lets hope it doesnt disappoint me as much as this place. I am talking about, I know it was my method to read, but I actually thought youd have some thing fascinating to say. All I hear is actually a few whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy interested in attention. Tonic Greens
