  1. Embedded System HW

  2. Why use microprocessors? • Alternatives: field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), custom logic, etc. (dedicated Single-purpose Processor or HW Logic) • Microprocessors are often very efficient: can use same logic to perform many different functions. • Microprocessors simplify the design of families of products.

  3. The performance paradox • Microprocessors use much more logic to implement a function than does custom logic. • But microprocessors are often at least as fast: • heavily pipelined; • large design teams; • aggressive VLSI technology.

  4. Power • Custom logic is a clear winner for low power devices. • Modern microprocessors offer features to help control power consumption. • Software design techniques can help reduce power consumption.

  5. Microprocessor varieties • Microcontroller: includes I/O devices, on-board memory. • Digital signal processor (DSP): microprocessor optimized for digital signal processing. • Typical embedded word sizes: 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit.

  6. Embedded Processors • 임베디드 프로세서 • 원래는 마이크로컨트롤러를 의미 • 마이크로컨트롤러를 확장한 개념으로도 사용 • CPU 코어, 메모리, 주변 장치, 입출력장치에 다양한 종류의 네트워크 장치가 추가되는 형태 Netsilicon NET+ARM Embedded Processor

  7. Many Types of Programmable Processors • Past • Microprocessor • Microcontroller • DSP • Graphics Processor • Now / Future • Network Processor • Sensor Processor • Cryptoprocessor • Game Processor • Wearable Processor • Mobile Processor

  8. Application-Specific InstructionProcessors (ASIPs) • Processors with instruction-sets tailored to specific applications or application domains • instruction-set generation as part of synthesis • Pluses: • customization yields lower area, power etc. • Minuses: • higher h/w & s/w development overhead • design, compilers, debuggers • higher time to market

  9. Reconfigurable SoC Triscend’s A7 CSoC Other Examples Atmel’s FPSLIC(AVR + FPGA) Altera’s Nios(configurable RISC on a PLD)

  10. Instruction Sets

  11. von Neumann architecture • Memory holds data, instructions. • Central processing unit (CPU) fetches instructions from memory. • Separate CPU and memory distinguishes programmable computer. • CPU registers help out: program counter (PC), instruction register (IR), general-purpose registers, etc.

  12. CPU + memory memory CPU PC 200 address ADD r5,r1,r3 ADD r5,r1,r3 IR 200 data

  13. Harvard architecture address CPU data memory PC data address program memory data

  14. von Neumann vs. Harvard • Harvard can’t use self-modifying code. • Harvard allows two simultaneous memory fetches. • Most DSPs use Harvard architecture for streaming data: • greater memory bandwidth; • more predictable bandwidth.

  15. RISC vs. CISC • Complex instruction set computer (CISC): • many addressing modes; • many operations. • Reduced instruction set computer (RISC): • load/store; • pipelinable instructions.

  16. CISC 프로세서 • Intel 계열 마이크로프로세서의 종류 및 역사

  18. CISC - History

  19. Instruction set characteristics • Fixed vs. variable length. • Addressing modes. • Number of operands. • Types of operands.

  20. Programming model • Programming model: registers visible to the programmer. • Some registers are not visible (IR).

  21. Multiple implementations • Successful architectures have several implementations: • varying clock speeds; • different bus widths; • different cache sizes; • etc.

  22. Advanced RISC Machines(1990) (ACORN and Apple Computer) ARM Architecture

  23. ARM Architecture • ARM versions. • ARM assembly language. • ARM programming model.

  24. ARM versions • ARM architecture has been extended over several versions. • We will concentrate on ARMv5

  25. Evolution of the ARM architecture versions

  26. ARMv6 Improvement • Memory management • Multiprocessing • Multimedia support: SIMD capability

  27. Evolution of the ARM architecture ARM11

  28. Introduction • To allow very small, yet high-performance implementations • RISC • Large uniform register file • Load/store architecture • Simple addressing modes • Uniform and fixed-length instr fields • Auto-increment and auto-decrement addr modes • Conditional execution of all instrcutions

  29. ARM assembly language • Fairly standard assembly language: LDR r0,[r8] ; a comment label ADD r4,r0,r1

  30. Programming Model

  31. ARM data types • Byte : • Halfword : 16 bits • Must be aligned to two-byte boundaries • Word : 32 bits • Must be aligned to four-byte boundaries • ARM addresses canbe 32 bits long. • Address refers to byte. • Address 4 starts at byte 4. • Can be configured at power-up as either little- or bit-endian mode.

  32. Processor modes • User: usr – Normal program execution modes • FIQ: fiq – Supports a high-speed data transfer or channel process • IRQ: irq – Used for general-purpose interrupt handling • Supervisor: svc – A protected mode for OS • Abort: abt – Implements VM and/or memory protection • Undefined: und – Supports software emulation of HW coprocessors • System: sys – Runs privileged OS tasks • fiq, irq, svc, abt, und – exception modes

  33. N Z C V Registers r0 r8 r1 r9 0 31 r2 r10 CPSR r3 r11 r4 r12 r5 r13 r6 r14 r7 r15 (PC) Link register unbanked registers banked registers

  34. Endianness • Relationship between bit and byte/word ordering defines endianness: bit 31 bit 0 bit 0 bit 31 byte 3 byte 2 byte 1 byte 0 byte 0 byte 1 byte 2 byte 3 little-endian big-endian

  35. ARM status bits • Every arithmetic, logical, or shifting operation may set CPSR (current program statues register) bits: • N (negative), Z (zero), C (carry), V (overflow). • Examples: • -1 + 1 = 0: NZCV = 0110. • 231-1+1 = -231: NZCV = 0101.

  36. ARM data processing – operand addressing • Instruction syntax • <opcode>{<cond>}{S} <Rd>, <Rn>, <shifter-operand> • <shifter-operand> has 11 options

  37. Condition field • Almost all ARM instrs. – conditionally executed

  38. 31 31 28 28 25 25 21 21 19 19 16 16 12 12 7 7 5 5 4 4 3 3 0 0 cond cond 000 000 opcode opcode S S Rn Rn Rd Rd shift amount shift shift 0 1 Rm Rm Rs 0 31 28 25 21 19 16 12 7 5 4 3 0 cond 001 opcode S Rn Rd rotate immediate-8 ARM data processing – operand addressing Data processing immediate shift Data processing register shift Data processing 32-bit immediate

  39. Shifter operand • Immediate • 8-bit constant and a 4-bit rotate (0,2,4,8,…,30) • mov r0, #0 • add r9, r9,#1 • Register operand • mov r2, r0 • Shifted register operand • ASR, LSL, LSR, ROR, RRX (by one bit) • mov r2, r0, LSL#2 ; shift r0 left by 2, write to r2 (r2=r0x4) • sub r10,r9,r8, LSR #4 ; r10 = r9 - r8/16 • sov r10,r9,r8, ROR r3 ; r10 = r9 - (r8 rotated by value of r3)

  40. AND EOR SUB : Rd:= Rn - shifter operand RSB : Rd:= shifter operand - Rn ADD ADC (with carry) SBC RSC (reverse SBC) TST : update flags after Rn AND shifter operand TEQ CMP CMN: copmare negated ORR (logical OR) MOV BIC MVN (mov not) ARM data-processing

  41. ARM data-processing • Shift, Rotate ? – shifter-operand • LSL, LSR : logical shift left/right • ASR : arithmetic shift left/right • ROR : rotate right • RRX : rotate right extended with C

  42. Data operation varieties • Logical shift: • fills with zeroes. • Arithmetic shift: • fills with sign extension • RRX performs 33-bit rotate, including C bit from CPSR above sign bit.

  43. Load and Store instructions • Two types • 32-bit word or an 8-bit unsigned byte • Load and store halfword and load signed byte • Addressing modes • Base register • Any one of GPR (including the PC) • Offset • Three format

  44. Addressing modes • Offset • Immediate: unsigned number (12 bits or 8 bits) • Register: GPR (not the PC) • Scaled register: shifted by an immediate value • LSL, LSR, ASR, ROR, RRX • Three ways to form the memory address • EA := Base register + or – Offset • Offset • Pre-indexed • Post-indexed

  45. Addressing modes • Base-plus-offset addressing: LDR r0,[r1,#16] • Loads from location r1+16 • Pre-indexing increments base register: LDR r0,[r1,#16]! • Post-indexing fetches, then does offset: LDR r0,[r1],#16 • Loads r0 from r1, then adds 16 to r1.

  46. LDR LDRB LDRH LDRSB (signed byte) LDRSH (signed halfw) STR STRB STRH Load and store

  47. Examples LDR R1, [R0] ; load R1 from the address in R0 LDR R8, [R3, #4] ; EA = [R3] + 4 LDR R8, [R3, #-4] ; EA = [R3] – 4 STRB R10, [R7, -R4] ; EA = [R7] – [R4] LDR R11, [R3, R5, LSL#2] ; EA = [R3] + ([R5]x4) LDR R3, [R9], #4 ; EA = [R9], R9 = [R9] +4 post-indexed LDR R1, [R0, #2] ! ; EA = [R0]+2, R0=[R0]+2 pre-indexed LDR R0, [PC, #40] ; load R0 from PC+0x40 (= address of the ; instruction +8 + 0x40)

  48. Load and store multiple • Addressing modes • IA : increment after • IB : increment before • DA: decrement after • DB: decrement before

  49. Load and store multiple • LDM • STM • Examples • LDMIA r0, {r5 – r8} ; load multiple r5-r8 from ; the address in r0 • STMDA r1!, {r2, r5, r7 – r9, r11} ; update r1
