15.5.1 Requests
The user-programmable machine has four basic requests that can initiate a UPM cycle.
There is a special start address in the RAM array that is associated with each of the following
cycle types:
• Read single beat start address (RSS)
• Read burst cycle start address (RBS)
• Write single beat start address (WSS)
• Write burst cycle start address (WBS)
• Periodic timer start address (PTS)
• Exception condition start address (EXS)
Figure 15-21 illustrates the first locations addressed by the UPM, according to the different
cycle types. Software requests, however, can point to any of the 64 UPM RAM entries.
