These addresses are strobe addresses.
When written
to,
they
cause the Copper to jwrp indirect using
the address contained in the first or second
location registers described below. The Copper
itself can write to these addresses, causing its
own jwrp indirect.
COPlLCH 080 W A Copper first location register
(high 3 bits)
COPlLCL 082 W A Copper first location register
(low 15 bits)
COP2LCH
084 W A
Copper second location register
(high 3 bits)
COP2LCL 086 W A Copper second location register
(low 15 bits)
These registers contain the jwrp addresses
described above.
COPINS
OBC
W A Copper instruction fetch identi fy
This is a dummy address that is generated by the
Copper whenever it is loading instructions into
its own instruction register. This actually occurs
every Copper cycle except for the second (IR2)
cycle of the MOVE instruction. The three types
of instructions are shown below.
MOVE Move immediate to destination.
WAIT
Wait until beam counter is equal to, or
greater than. (keeps Copper off of bus
until beam position has been reached) •
SKIP Skip if beam counter is equal to or
greater than (skips following MOVE
instruction unless beam position has
been reached) •
MOVE WAIT UNTIL SKIP IF

NOTE BFD=Blitter finished disable. When this bit
is true, the Blitter Finished flag will
have no effect on the Copper. When this
bit is zero, the Blitter Finished flag
must be true (in addition to the rest of
the bit comparisons) before the Copper
can exit from its wait state or skip
over an instruction. Note that the V7
comparison cannot be masked.
The Copper is basically a two-cycle machine that
requests the bus only during odd memory cycles
(4 memory cycles per instruction). This prevents
collisions with display, audio, disk, refresh, and
sprites, all of which use only even cycles. It
therefore needs (and has) priority over only the
blitter and microprocessor.
There are only three types of instructions:
MOVE immediate, WAIT until, and SKIP if. All
instructions (except for WAIT) require two bus
cycles (and two instruction words). Since only
the odd bus cycles are requested, four memory
cycle times are required per instruction
(memory cycles are 280 ns.)
There are two indirect jwrp registers, COPlLC and
COP2LC. 1'hese are IS-bit pointer registers whose
contents are used to modify the program counter for
initialization or jwrps. They are transferred to
the program counter whenever strobe addresses
COPJMPI or COPJMP2 are written. In addition,
COPlLC is automatically used at the beginning of
each vertical blank time.
It is important that one of the jwrp registers be
initialized and its jwrp strobe address hit after
power-up but before Copper DMA is initialized.
This insures a determined startup address and state.
