MPU Registers

5.3.10 Programmable Range n Start Address Registers (PROGn_MPSAR)

NOTE: In some cases the amount of physical memory in actual use may be less than the maximum
amount of memory supported by the device. For example, the device may support a total of
512 Mbytes of SDRAM memory, but your design may only populate 128 Mbytes. In such
cases, the unpopulated memory range must be protected in order to prevent
unintended/disallowed aliased access to protected memory, especially memory. One of the
programmable address ranges could be used to detect accesses to this unpopulated
memory.
The programmable range n start address register (PROGn_MPSAR) holds the start address for the range
n. The PROGn_MPSAR is writeable by a supervisor entity only.
The start address must be aligned on a page boundary. The size of the page depends on the MPU: the
page size for MPU1 is 1 KBbyte; the page size for MPU2 is 64 KBytes. The size of the page determines
the width of the address field in PROGn_MPSAR and the programmable range n end address register
(PROGn_MPEAR). For example, to protect a 64-KB page starting at byte address 8001 0000h, write
8001 0000h to PROGn_MPSAR and 8001 FFFFh to PROGn_MPEAR.
