The manual consists of:
• Chapter 1,
This chapter provides a general description of the instruction syn-
tax and notation conventions.
• Chapter 2,
Describes the arithmetic/logic units (ALUs), multiplier/accumula-
tor units (MACs), shifter, and the set of video ALUs. The chapter
also discusses data formats, data types, and register files.
• Chapter 3,
Describes the operating modes of the processor. The chapter also
describes Idle state and Reset state.
• Chapter 4,
Describes the operation of the program sequencer, which controls
program flow by providing the address of the next instruction to be
executed. The chapter also discusses loops, subroutines, jumps,
interrupts, and exceptions.
• Chapter 5,
Describes the Address Arithmetic Unit (AAU), including Data
Address Generators (DAGs), addressing modes, how to modify
DAG and Pointer registers, memory address alignment, and DAG
instructions.
• Chapter 6,
Describes L1 memories. In particular, details their memory archi-
tecture, memory model, memory transaction model, and
memory-mapped registers (MMRs). Discusses the instruction,
data, and scratchpad memory, which are part of the Blackfin pro-
cessor core.
