Rambar Field Description; Memory Base Address Register (Rambar) - Motorola ColdFire MCF5281 User Manual

The physical base address programmed in both copies of the RAMBAR is typically the
same value; however, they can be programmed to different values. By definition, the base
address must be a 0-modulo-size value.

Bits Name
31–16 BA Base address. Defines the memory module's base address on a 64-Kbyte boundary corresponding
to the physical array location within the 4 Gbyte address space supported by ColdFire.
15–10 — Reserved, should be cleared.
9 BDE Back door enable. Qualifies the module accesses to the memory.
0 Disables module accesses to the module.
1 Enables module accesses to the module.
NOTE: The SPV bit in the CPU's RAMBAR must also be set to allow dual port access to the SRAM.
For more information, see Section 5.3.1, "SRAM Base Address Register (RAMBAR)."
8–0 — Reserved, should be cleared.
The SRAM modules are configured through the RAMBAR shown in Figure 8-2.
• RAMBAR specifies the base address of the SRAM.
• All undefined bits are reserved. These bits are ignored during writes to the
RAMBAR and return zeros when read.
• The back door enable bit, RAMBAR[BDE], is cleared at reset, disabling the module
access to the SRAM.
The RAMBAR default value of 0x0000_0000 is invalid. The
RAMBAR located in the processor's CPU space must be
initialized with the valid bit set before the CPU (or modules)
can access the on-chip SRAM (see Chapter 5, "Static RAM
(SRAM)" for more information.
