Non-Cacheable, Non-Burst, Multiple Cycle Transfers

a sequence of two single cycle transfers. The Intel
the external system that this is a multiple cycle transfer by deasserting BLAST# during
the second clock of the first cycle. The external system asserts RDY# to indicate that it
will not burst the data. The external system also indicates that the data is not
cacheable by deasserting KEN# one clock before it asserts RDY#. When the Intel
Quark SoC X1000 Core samples RDY# asserted, it ignores BRDY#.

Non-Cacheable Burst Cycles

The external system converts a multiple cycle request into a burst cycle by asserting
BRDY# rather than RDY# in the first cycle of the transfer. This is illustrated in
Figure 89.
There are several features to note in the burst read. ADS# is asserted only during the
first cycle of the transfer. RDY# must be deasserted when BRDY# is asserted.
BLAST# behaves exactly as it does in the non-burst read. BLAST# is deasserted in the
second clock of the first cycle of the transfer, indicating more cycles to follow. In the
last cycle, BLAST# is asserted, prompting the external memory system to end the
burst after asserting the next BRDY#.
