12.4.2.7 Size, Alignment, and Packaging on Transfers
Table 12-18 shows the allowed sizes that an internal or external master can request from the EBI. The
behavior of the EBI for request sizes not shown below is undefined. No error signal is asserted for these
erroneous cases.
Note: Some misaligned access cases may result in 3-byte writes. These cases are treated as power-of-2 sized requests by the
EBI, using WE/BE[0:3] to make sure only the appropriate 3 bytes get written.
The EBI supports only natural address alignment:
• Byte access can have any address.
• 16-bit access, address bit 31 must be 0.
• 32-bit access, address bits 30-31 must be 0.
• For burst accesses of any size, address bits 29-31 must be 0.
The EBI of the MPC5553 and MPC5554 does not support misaligned accesses. If a misaligned access to
the EBI is attempted by an internal master, the EBI errors the access on the internal bus and does not start
the access (nor assert TEA) externally. This means the EBI never generates a misaligned external access,
