bits defines a 64MB address space. The instruction side and data side can share a 64MB address
space, or each can have its own 64MB address space. The address spaces are
fully relocatable on
64MB boundaries within the 4GB address space of the PPC405GP, but the programmer must assign
OCM address space to avoid conflicts with other assigned addresses. See "Programming Model" on
page
3-1
for information about the PPC405GP memory map.

O.eM
Address
Usage
Figure
5-1
illustrates OCM address usage. The OCM SRAM array size is 4KB. Address bits 20:31
select
byte addresses for data-side accesses. Address bits 30:31 are ignored for instruction-side
accesses, because instruction-side accesses return either one
or
two words per transfer.
Note that the instruction-side and data-side
OCM address spaces overlap physically, even if defined
as distinct
logical address spaces, because the 4KB SRAM is shared. There is no distinction between
data space
or
instruction space, except as defined by the programmer.
Addresses
in
the OCM array are aliased throughout the 'larger OCM address spaces. The larger OCM
address spaces are filled with multiple images of the 4KB SRAM. Aliased addresses refer to the same
physical memory locations.
Programming
Note:
To
avoid possible memory coherency problems when using aliased
addresses, align aliased addresses on 16KB boundaries rather than on 4KB boundaries. See
"Store Data Bypass Behavior and Memory Coherency" on page 5-3 for details.
If address translation is enabled (MSR[IR, DR] = 1), one
or
more TLB entries for the OCM address
space must exist to
validate accesses. However, the virtual addresses are not translated, and 32-bit
effective addresses
(virtual addresses) are presented to OCM.
Data-side OCM contents can use big end ian or little end ian byte ordering. Instruction-side OCM
contents must use big endian byte ordering. See "Byte Ordering" on page 3-28 for detailed
information about byte ordering.
5.2 OeM Programming Guidelines
The following guidelines prevent potential problems associated with using OCM:
•
Code that uses
mtdcr
to disable instruction-side OCM access should not run out of the instruction-
side
OCM.
Instructions following
an
mtdcr
are not guaranteed to be fetched before the instruction-side OCM
is disabled.
•
Do not change the value in OCMO_ISARC while fetching from the instruction-side OCM.
•
To
change the value in OCMO_ISARC
or
OCMO_DSARC:
1.
Set OCMO_ISCNTL[ISEN] = ° to disable instruction-side OCM accesses,
or
set
OCMO_DSCNTL[DSEN] = ° to disable data-side OCM accesses.
