Memory Protection Support

Memory protection allows an operating system to define who or what is authorized to access L1D, L1P,

and L2 memory. To accomplish this, the L1D, L1P, and L2 memories are divided into pages. There are 16

pages of L1P (2KB each), 16 pages of L1D (2KB each), and up to 64 pages of L2. The L1D, L1P, and L2

memory controllers in the C64x+ Megamodule are equipped with a set of registers that specify the

permissions for each memory page. For L2, the number of protection pages and their sizes depend on the

L2 configuration of the device, as defined in the previous section. The actual sizes are listed in Table 5-2.

Table 5-2 shows the memory addresses used to access the L2 memory.

Each page may be assigned with fully orthogonal user and supervisor read, write, and execute

permissions. Additionally, a page may be marked as either (or both) locally or globally accessible. A local

access is a direct CPU access to L1D, L1P, and L2, while a global access is initiated by a DMA (either

IDMA or the EDMA3) or by other system masters.

The assignment of privilege IDs for CPU 0 and all non-EDMA system masters is based on silicon revision.

For silicon revisions

≤1.2, CPU 0 and all non-EDMA system masters on the device are assigned the same

privilege ID of 0. For silicon revsions

>1.2, CPU 0 is assigned the privilege ID of 6 and all non-EDMA

system masters are assigned the same privilege ID of 0. CPUs 1-5 are each assigned a unique privilege

ID (see Table 5-3). It is only possible to specify whether the memory pages are locally or globally

accessible. The AIDx (x=0,1,2,3,4,5, or X) and LOCAL bits of the memory protection page attribute

registers specify the memory page protection scheme as listed in Table 5-4.

Whenever the CPU is the initiator of a memory transaction, the privilege mode (user or supervisor) in

which the CPU is running at that time is carried with those transactions. This includes EDMA3 transfers

that are programmed by the CPU. For most peripheral masters (EMAC0, EMAC1, UTOPIA, TSIP0, TSIP1,

and TSIP2), the privilege mode is always user mode. Two peripherals (HPI and SRIO) have

programmable privilege modes through a chip-level register, HOSTPRIV, and can be either user or

supervisor.
