SPRS276M –MAY 2005–REVISED MARCH 2012
The C6455 DSP integrates a large amount of on-chip memory organized as a two-level memory system.
The level-1 (L1) program and data memories on the C6455 device are 32KB each. This memory can be
configured as mapped RAM, cache, or some combination of the two. When configured as cache, L1
program (L1P) is a direct mapped cache where as L1 data (L1D) is a two-way set associative cache. The
level-2 (L2) memory is shared between program and data space and is 2048KB in size. L2 memory can
also be configured as mapped RAM, cache, or some combination of the two. The C64x+ Megamodule
also has a 32-bit peripheral configuration (CFG) port, an internal DMA (IDMA) controller, a system
component with reset/boot control, interrupt/exception control, a power-down control, and a free-running
32-bit timer for time stamp.
The peripheral set includes: an inter-integrated circuit bus module (I2C); two multichannel buffered serial
ports (McBSPs); an 8-bit Universal Test and Operations PHY Interface for Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM) Slave [UTOPIA Slave] port; two 64-bit general-purpose timers (also configurable as four 32-bit
timers); a user-configurable 16-bit or 32-bit host-port interface (HPI16/HPI32); a peripheral component
interconnect (PCI); a 16-pin general-purpose input/output port (GPIO) with programmable interrupt/event
generation modes; an 10/100/1000 Ethernet media access controller (EMAC), which provides an efficient
interface between the C6455 DSP core processor and the network; a management data input/output
(MDIO) module (also part of the EMAC) that continuously polls all 32 MDIO addresses in order to
enumerate all PHY devices in the system; a glueless external memory interface (64-bit EMIFA), which is
capable of interfacing to synchronous and asynchronous peripherals; and a 32-bit DDR2 SDRAM
interface.
The I2C ports on the C6455 device allows the DSP to easily control peripheral devices and communicate
with a host processor. In addition, the standard multichannel buffered serial port (McBSP) may be used to
communicate with serial peripheral interface (SPI) mode peripheral devices.
The C6455 DSP has a complete set of development tools which includes: a new C compiler, an assembly
optimizer to simplify programming and scheduling, and a Windows® debugger interface for visibility into
source code execution.
