According to the QUICC Engine Reference Manual (QEIWRM Rev. 4.5) "On the MPC8569E, one channel interfaces with the ECM through the SDMA system bus interface, the other
channel interfaces with the secondary DDR interface." Data paths in Figure 3-4 does also reflect this statement. In contrast, according to the MPC8569E Reference Manual MPC8569ERM Rev. 2, regarding the QUICC Engine interface data paths it is said: "The data paths include a path from the SDMA system bus interface to targets connected to the ECM and a direct connection from the SDMA secondary bus interface to the local bus controller.". This is correctly reflected Figure 21-2. I've looked through the Errata to MPC8569E Reference Manual but I haven't found anything related.
In view of this conflicting information, which one should I consider correct?
This is reply from FSL: "When the second SDMA is used, there is a shortcut to the secondary DDR bus, bypassing arbitration with CPU and others on the ECM."
The MPC8569ERM should be corrected.
