How to read/write external memory using EBI module

jagadeeshalaksh — Thu, 30 May 2013 07:08:50 GMT

Hi Team,

I am new to MPC5566, trying to interface MR4A16B SRAM to MPC5566 using EBI module.

- I configured EBI register

- Configured corresponding SIU_PCR register to select the requried functionality.

Now, my doubt is how to Read/Write address/data... which register i need to use to write/read.

eg: CS[0] functionality is choosen from SIU_PCR register. if i want to make CS[0] line HIGH or LOW how to drive?

PLease help in understandig this and to solve.

Regards

Jagadeesha

CW stationery contains initialization for the external memory that is present on EVB. See file MPC5566_HWInit.c, function INIT_ExternalBusAndMemory.

Internal address space is defined fixed within range 0x2000_0000-0x3FFF_FFFF. That’s fixed.

For particular chip selects you can select ranges (that must be within EBI range above and not overlapped) using base address EBI_BRn[BA] and address mask EBI_ORn[AM]. Address mask actually specifies size of address space addressed by particular chip select.

Base address and mask are both in format: 0b111x_xxxx_xxxx_xxxx_x000_0000_0000_0000

Ones from left side are taken from EBI fixed address range and zeros from right side specifies address granularity that is minimum CS addressable area (2^15 = 32kB).

CS lines are automatically driven during access to the particular CS area, for instance see following read and write considering basese address is set for 0x20000000:

vuint32_t longword0 = 0;

/* test write */

*(vuint32_t*)(0x20000000) = 0xBABADEDA;

/* test read */

longword0 = *(vuint32_t*)(0x20000000);

Note that also MMU table entry must be set properly to allow access to external bus space (function INIT_ExternalBusAndMemory handles it as well).
