  1. ECE 353Introduction to Microprocessor Systems Michael J. Schulte Week 2

  2. Tutorial Reminder Wednesday, February 13th, 2008 Keil uVision3 tutorial 6:30-8:00pm EH1249

  3. Topics • Microprocessor Organization • Organization of Microprocessor Systems • Endian-ness • ARM History and Characteristics • ARM7TDMI Implementation • ADuC7026 Overview

  4. Microprocessor Components • Register file • Program counter • General purpose registers • Hidden registers • ALU • Buses • Memory interface • Signal conventions • Control and timing unit

  5. A Simple P Architecture • A less simple architecture

  6. Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) • Complex Instruction Set (CISC) • Single instructions for complex tasks (string search, block move, FFT, etc.) • Usually have variable length instructions • Registers have specialized functions • Reduced Instruction Set (RISC) • Instructions for simple operations only • Usually fixed length instructions • Large orthogonal register sets

  7. Register Architectures • Accumulator • One instruction operand comes from a dedicated register (the accumulator) closely coupled to the ALU. • Register-Memory • Instruction operands can be obtained from both registers and memory • Commonly used in CISC machines • Load-Store • All operands must be in general-purpose registers • Only a very limited number of instructions (loads/stores) can “touch” memory • Commonly used in RISC machines

  8. Microprocessor System Organization • Memory Architectures • Von Neumann architecture • Harvard architecture • Input/Output (I/O) • Memory-mapped I/O • Isolated I/O • Examples • Programmer’s Model • aka Register View • Memory Maps

  9. Endian-ness • Byte Ordering for Little Endian vs. Big Endian

  10. ARM Ltd • Founded in November 1990 • Spun out of Acorn Computers • Designs the ARM range of RISC processor cores • Licenses ARM core designs to semiconductor partners who fabricate and sell to their customers. • ARM does not fabricate silicon itself • Also develop technologies to assist with the design-in of the ARM architecture • Software tools, boards, debug hardware, application software, bus architectures, peripherals etc

  11. ARM Partnership Model

  12. ARM Powered Products

  13. ARM7 Characteristics • Designed to be a simple, efficient RISC core • Small die area • Low power • Low interrupt latency • These characteristics enabled ARM to become dominant in the cell phone market. • Most cell phones contain a heterogenous multiprocessor SoC with an ARM and a DSP. • Advanced ARM designs (ARM9,10,11) have become much more sophisticated (i.e. Intel Xscale in PDAs), but have had less success in penetrating other markets where power consumption issues are not as severe.

  14. ARM7TDMI Implementation • The ARM7TDMI uses the ARM v4T ISA. • All instructions are conditional • The ARM7TDMI is a basic load-store RISC • Sixteen GP registers (R15-R0) with banking • Three stage pipeline (FDE) • No caches • Support for ARM (32-bit) and Thumb (16-bit) instruction sets • Multiply-accumulate (MAC) unit • On-chip hardware debug support

  15. ARM7TDMI Processor Block Diagram

  16. ARM7TDMIProcessor Core

  17. Analog Devices ADuC7026 • ARM7TDMI core • 62kB flash, 8kB SRAM • In-circuit programmable, JTAG debug • 41.78MHz PLL with programmable divider • Little-endian • Numerous digital peripherals • GPIO • Timers (GP x4 and watchdog/wake-up) • UART/I2C/SPI serial interfaces • 3-phase PWM • External memory interface (16-bit multiplexed) • Analog input/output • 12 in, 4 out • Voltage reference and temperature sensor

  18. ADuC7026 Block Diagram

  19. ADuC7026 Memory Map

  20. ADuC7026 Pin-Out (LQFP-80)

  21. Assessment • Team ConcepTest • In-Class Address Decoding Exercise

  22. Wrapping Up • Week 3 reading is chapters 5, 6.1-6.11, 6.14 from the textbook, the ARM7TDMI Technical Reference Manual chapter 2, and Supplement #1 (LearnContent) • Pre-Quiz #2 to be done by Tuesday 2/5 at midnight • Homework #1 due Wednesday 2/6 • Tutorial on Wednesday 2/13 from 6:30-8:00pm in EH1249

  23. Team ConcepTest • A 32-bit word with value 0x54AF8 is stored in memory at address 0x00008DC44 in a little-endian system. Show the address and contents of each byte of memory used. • What type of operation is described by (PC)  (PC) – 0Ch? • A 20-bit address space has a 32KB RAM at base address 38000h, and a 128KB ROM at B0000h. Draw and label the memory map.

  24. In-Class Exercise • Design decode logic for the following devices with the indicated control inputs: • 64Kx8 ROM (/CS, /OE) at 0x04XXXX • 1Mx8 RAM (/CS, /OE, /WE) at 0xA00000 • Input Port (/OE) at 0xFXXX00 • Output Port (/WR) at 0x1XXXXX • In all cases, assume a 24-bit address bus (A23:0) and control signals (/RD, /WR)

  26. Register View of a Simple P aka “Von Neumann” or “Princeton” architecture

  27. Register View of a Simple Pwith Isolated I/O space Most microprocessors do NOT have isolated I/O. The Intel x86 microprocessors do.

  28. Register View of a Simple P with Separate Code and Data Memories aka “Harvard” architecture
