ADSP-2186
–10–
REV. A
The IDMA port has a 16-bit multiplexed address and data bus
and supports 24-bit program memory. The IDMA port is com-
pletely asynchronous and can be written to while the ADSP-
2186 is operating at full speed.
The DSP memory address is latched and then automatically
incremented after each IDMA transaction. An external device
can therefore access a block of sequentially addressed memory
by specifying only the starting address of the block. This in-
creases throughput as the address does not have to be sent for
each memory access.
IDMA Port access occurs in two phases. The first is the IDMA
Address Latch cycle. When the acknowledge is asserted, a 14-bit
address and 1-bit destination type can be driven onto the bus by
an external device. The address specifies an on-chip memory
location, the destination type specifies whether it is a DM or
PM access. The falling edge of the address latch signal latches
this value into the IDMAA register.
Once the address is stored, data can then either be read from or
written to the ADSP-2186’s on-chip memory. Asserting the
select line (
IS
) and the appropriate read or write line (
IRD
and
IWR
respectively) signals the ADSP-2186 that a particular
transaction is required. In either case, there is a one-processor-
cycle delay for synchronization. The memory access consumes
one additional processor cycle.
Once an access has occurred, the latched address is automati-
cally incremented and another access can occur.
Through the IDMAA register, the DSP can also specify the
starting address and data format for DMA operation.
Bootstrap Loading (Booting)
The ADSP-2186 has two mechanisms to allow automatic load-
ing of the internal program memory after reset. The method for
booting is controlled by the Mode A, B and C configuration bits
as shown in Table VI. These four states can be compressed into
two-state bits by allowing an IDMA boot with Mode C = 1.
However, three bits are used to ensure future compatibility with
parts containing internal program memory ROM.
BDMA Booting
When the MODE pins specify BDMA booting, the ADSP-2186
initiates a BDMA boot sequence when
RESET
is released.

BDMA can still be used but
the processor does not auto-

operations.

IDMA feature is used to load
any internal memory as de-
sired. Program execution is
held off until internal program
memory location 0 is written
to. Chip is configured in Host
Mode.
The BDMA interface is set up during reset to the following de-
faults when BDMA booting is specified: the BDIR, BMPAGE,
BIAD and BEAD registers are set to 0; the BTYPE register is
set to 0 to specify program memory 24-bit words; and the
BWCOUNT register is set to 32. This causes 32 words of on-
chip program memory to be loaded from byte memory. These
32 words are used to set up the BDMA to load in the remaining
program code. The BCR bit is also set to 1, which causes pro-
gram execution to be held off until all 32 words are loaded into
on-chip program memory. Execution then begins at address 0.
The ADSP-2100 Family development software (Revision 5.02
and later) fully supports the BDMA booting feature and can
generate byte memory space compatible boot code.
The IDLE instruction can also be used to allow the processor
to hold off execution while booting continues through the
BDMA interface. For BDMA accesses while in Host Mode,
the addresses to boot memory must be constructed externally
to the ADSP-2186. The only memory address bit provided by
the processor is A0.
