Memory and bus architecture
2.1.5

S5: DMA peripheral bus

This bus connects the DMA peripheral master bus interface to the BusMatrix. This bus is
used by the DMA to access AHB peripherals or to perform memory-to-memory transfers.
The targets of this bus are the AHB and APB peripherals plus data memories: internal
SRAM and external memories through the FSMC.
2.1.6

S6: Ethernet DMA bus

This bus connects the Ethernet DMA master interface to the BusMatrix. This bus is used by
the Ethernet DMA to load/store data to a memory. The targets of this bus are data
memories: internal SRAM and external memories through the FSMC.
2.1.7

S7: USB OTG HS DMA bus

This bus connects the USB OTG HS DMA master interface to the BusMatrix. This bus is
used by the USB OTG DMA to load/store data to a memory. The targets of this bus are data
memories: internal SRAM and external memories through the FSMC.
2.1.8

BusMatrix

The BusMatrix manages the access arbitration between masters. The arbitration uses a
round-robin algorithm.
2.1.9

AHB/APB bridges (APB)

The two AHB/APB bridges provide full synchronous connections between the AHB and the
two APB buses, allowing flexible selection of the peripheral frequency:
•
APB1, limited to 30 MHz for low-speed peripherals
•
APB2, limited to 60 MHz for high-speed peripherals
Refer to
After each device reset, all peripheral clocks are disabled (except for the SRAM and Flash
memory interface). Before using a peripheral you have to enable its clock in the
RCC_AHBxENR or RCC_APBxENR register.
Note: When a 16- or an 8-bit access is performed on an APB register, the access is transformed
into a 32-bit access: the bridge duplicates the 16- or 8-bit data to feed the 32-bit vector.
2.2

Memory organization

Program memory, data memory, registers and I/O ports are organized within the same linear
4 Gbyte address space.
The bytes are coded in memory in little endian format. The lowest numbered byte in a word
is considered the word's least significant byte and the highest numbered byte, the word's
most significant.
For the detailed mapping of peripheral registers, please refer to the related chapters.
The addressable memory space is divided into 8 main blocks, each of 512 MB.
All the memory areas that are not allocated to on-chip memories and peripherals are
considered "Reserved"). Refer to the memory map figure in the product datasheet.
