10 Communications Processor Introduction (Continued)

ALUMUX and then placed on the destination bus This

data is then stored into the appropriate destination register

Figures 1-6b and 1-6c show the data path for data memory

accesses For a WRITE operation the source register con-

tents follow the same path through the ALUMUX but the

Destination bus is routed to output pins and on to data

memory For a READ operation incoming data is routed

onto the Destination bus by the ALUMUX and then stored

in a register The address for all data memory accesses is

provided by one of four 16-bit index registers which can

operate in a variety of automatic increment and decrement

modes

Transfer of the data byte between the CPU and the Trans-

ceiver is accomplished through a register location This reg-

ister

RTR

appears as a normal CPU register but writing

to it automatically transfers data to the transmitter FIFO

and reading from it retrieves data from the receiver FIFO

These paths are illustrated in

Figures 1-6d and 1-6e

It is also possible to load immediate data into a CPU regis-

ter This data is supplied by the program and is usually a

constant such as a pointer or character As shown in

Figure

1-6f a portion of the Instruction bus is routed through the

ALUMUX for this purpose

15 REMOTE INTERFACE AND ARBITRATION SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION

The BCP is designed to serve as a complete stand alone

communications interface Alternately it can be interfaced

with another processor by means of the Remote Interface

and Arbitration System Communication between the BCP

and the remote processor is possible by sharing data mem-

ory Harvard architecture allows the remote system to ac-

cess any BCP data memory location while the BCP contin-

ues to fetch and execute instructions thereby minimizing

performance degradation

Figure 1-7 shows a simplified remote processor interface

This includes tri-state buffers on the address and data bus-

es of the BCP’s Data Memory and all of the control and

handshaking signals required to communicate between the

BCP and the host system

There is an 8-bit control register Remote Interface Control

RIC

accessible only to the remote system which is used

to control a variety of features including the types of memo-

ry accesses interface speeds single step program execu-

tion CPU startstop instruction memory loads and so forth

Detailed information on all interface options is provided in

the section on Remote Interface and Arbitration System

and in the related Reference section
