Page 44: Functional Overview
RISC ISA, the ability to simultaneously process data with up to three integrated network processing engines (NPEs), and numerous dedicated-function peripheral interfaces — enables the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors to operate over a wide range of low-cost networking applications with industry-leading performance.

Page 48: Key Functional Units
The NPE core is a hardware multi-threaded processor engine separate from, but operating in parallel with the Intel XScale processor. The NPE is used to off-load and accelerate network data packet processing that would otherwise take processing cycle time on the Intel XScale processor. Each NPE core is a 133.32-MHz processor core that has self-contained instruction memory and self-contained data memory that operate in parallel.
Page 49: Internal Bus
The combined forces of the hardware multi-threading, independent instruction memory, independent data memory, and parallel processing — contained on the NPE — allows the Intel XScale processor to be utilized for application purposes. The multi- processing capability of the peripheral interface functions allows unparalleled performance to be achieved by the application running on the Intel XScale processor.
Page 50: South Ahb
South AHB ® The South AHB is a 133.32-MHz, 32-bit bus that can be mastered by the Intel XScale Processor, PCI controller, Expansion Bus Interface, USB Host Controller, and the AHB/ AHB bridge. The targets of the South AHB Bus can be the DDRI SDRAM, PCI Controller, Queue Manager, Expansion Bus, Cryptography Unit, or the AHB/APB bridge.
Page 51: Apb Bus
No arbitration is required due to a single master implementation. 2.1.3 MII/SMII Interfaces The IXP45X/IXP46X network processors can be configured to support up to three MII or SMII industry-standard, media-independent interface (MII) interfaces. These interfaces are integrated into the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors with separate media-access controllers and in many cases independent network processing engines.
Page 52: Universal Serial Bus (Usb) Interfaces
When the PCI Controller is configured as a host, an internal PCI arbiter may be utilized to allow up to four devices to be connected to the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors without the need for an external arbiter.
Page 53: Ddri Sdram Controller
It is important to note that ECC is also referred to as CB in many DIMM specs. The pins used for ECC on the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors are called DDRI_CB[7:0]. The controller supports the 8 bits due to the fact that internally it is a 32 or 64 bit controller.
Page 54: Expansion Interface
The memory controller is a 32-bit only interface. If a x16 memory chip is used, a minimum of two memory chips would be required to facilitate the 32-bit interface required by the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors. If ECC is required, additional memories would need to be added. For more information on DDRI SDRAM support and configuration see the Memory Controller section contained later in this document.
Page 55 In the enhanced mode of operation, the expansion interface is a 32-bit interface that allows an address range of 512 bytes to 32 Mbytes per chip select on the IXP45X/ IXP46X network processors, using 25 address lines for each of the eight independent chip selects.
Page 56: High-Speed, Serial Interfaces
High-Speed, Serial Interfaces The high-speed, serial interfaces (HSS) are six-signal interfaces that support serial transfer speeds from 512 KHz to 8.192 MHz, for some models of the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors. (For processor-specific speeds, refer to the HSS chapter.) Each interface allows direct connection of up to four T1/E1 framers and CODEC/SLICs to the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors.
Page 57: Internal Bus Performance Monitoring Unit (Ibpmu)
Internal Bus Performance Monitoring Unit (IBPMU) The IXP45X/IXP46X network processors consist of a performance monitoring unit that may be used to capture predefined events within the system outside of the Intel XScale processor. These features aid in measuring and monitoring various system parameters that contribute to the overall performance of the processor.
Page 58: Timers
IXP45X and Intel IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors—Functional Overview 2.1.14 Timers The IXP45X/IXP46X network processors consist of four internal timers operating at 66.66 MHz to allow task scheduling and prevent software lock-ups. The device has four 32-bit counters: • Watch-Dog •...
Page 59: I2C Interface
IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors 2.1.17 C Interface The I C Bus Interface Unit allows the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors to serve as a master and slave device residing on the I C bus. The I C bus is a serial bus consisting of a two-pin interface.
Page 60: Queue Manager
The Queue Manager interfaces include an Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB) interface to the NPEs and Intel XScale processor (or any other AHB bus master), a Flag Bus interface, an event bus (to the NPE condition select logic), and two interrupts to the Intel XScale processor.
Page 61 • Performance monitoring unit (PMU) furnishing two 32-bit event counters and one 32-bit cycle counter for analysis of hit rates, etc. This PMU is for the Intel XScale processor only. An additional PMU is supplied for monitoring of internal bus performance.

Page 64: Data Memory Management Unit
Access permissions for each of up to 16 memory domains can be programmed. When a data fetch is attempted to an area of memory in violation of access permissions, the attempt is aborted and a data abort is sent to the Intel XScale processor for exception processing.
Page 65: Data Cache
The FB can contain up to four unique “miss” addresses (logical), allowing four “misses” before the Intel XScale processor is stalled. The PB holds up to four addresses (logical) for additional “misses” to those addresses that are already in the FB. A coprocessor register can specify draining of the fill and pend (write) buffers.
Page 66: Write Buffer
The write buffer (WB) holds data for storage to memory until the bus controller can act on it. The WB is eight entries deep, where each entry holds 16 bytes. The WB is constantly enabled and accepts data from the Intel XScale processor, D-cache, or mini- data cache.
Page 67: Debug Unit
The debug unit — when used with debugger application code running on a host system outside of the Intel XScale processor — allows a program, running on the Intel XScale processor, to be debugged. It allows the debugger application code or a debug exception to stop program execution and redirect execution to a debug-handling routine.

These translations can also be locked down in either TLB to guarantee the performance of critical routines. For more information, refer to “Exceptions” on page The Intel XScale processor allows system software to associate various attributes with regions of memory: • Cacheable • Bufferable •...
Page 70: Memory Attributes
• When the bit is 1, the type of coherency performed is dependent on the P-Attribute bit. The P-Attribute bit is associated with each 1-Mbyte page. The P-Attribute bit is output from the Intel XScale processor with any store or load access associated with that page. Note: The P-attribute feature allows software to control byte swapping per 1-Mbyte regions.

Page 77: Instruction Cache
B4326-01 Instruction Cache The Intel XScale processor instruction cache enhances performance by reducing the number of instruction fetches from external memory. The cache provides fast execution of cached code. Code can also be locked down when guaranteed or fast access time is required.

1 word per core cycle. The instruction cache can have the eight words of data return in any order, which allows the Intel XScale processor to send the requested instruction first, thus reducing fetch latency.

Page 81 ; The instruction cache is guaranteed to be invalidated at this point; the next ; instruction sees the result of the invalidate command. The Intel XScale processor also supports invalidating an individual line from the instruction cache. See Table 20, “Cache Functions” on page 104 for the exact command.
Page 82: Locked Line Effect On Round-Robin Replacement
® ® Intel IXP45X and Intel IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors—Intel XScale Processor • The code being locked into the cache must be cacheable • The instruction cache must be enabled and invalidated prior to locking down lines. Failure to follow these requirements will produce unpredictable results when accessing the instruction cache.

There are two data cache structures in the Intel XScale processor: a 32-Kbyte data cache and a 2-Kbyte mini-data cache. An eight entry write buffer and a four-entry, fill buffer are also implemented to decouple the Intel XScale processor instruction execution from external memory accesses, which increases overall system performance.
Page 86: Data Cache Organization
® ® Intel IXP45X and Intel IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors—Intel XScale Processor The data cache is virtually addressed and virtually tagged. The data cache supports write-back and write-through caching policies. The data cache always allocates a line in the cache when a cacheable read miss occurs and will allocate a line into the cache on a cacheable write miss when write allocate is specified by its page attribute.
Page 87: Mini-Data Cache Organization
The fill buffer holds the external memory request information for a data cache or mini- data cache fill or non-cacheable read request. Up to four 32-byte read request operations can be outstanding in the fill buffer before the Intel XScale processor needs to stall.
Page 88: Cacheability
If there is no outstanding fill request for that line, the current load request is placed in the fill buffer and a 32-byte external memory read request is made. If the pending buffer or fill buffer is full, the Intel XScale processor will stall until an entry is available.
Page 89 If there is no outstanding fill request for that line, the current store request is placed in the fill buffer and a 32-byte external memory read request is made. If the pending buffer or fill buffer is full, the Intel XScale processor will stall until an entry is available.

Page 95: Locked Line Effect On Round-Robin Replacement
Before locking, the programmer must ensure that no part of the target data range is already resident in the cache. The Intel XScale processor will not prefetch such data, which will result in it not being locked into the cache. If there is any doubt as to the location of the targeted memory data, the cache should be cleaned and invalidated to prevent this scenario.

Page 178: Processors': Encoding Of Fault Status For Prefetch Aborts
3.8.3.4.4 Data Aborts Two types of data aborts exist in the Intel XScale processor: precise and imprecise. A precise data abort is defined as one where R14_ABORT always contains the PC (+8) of the instruction that caused the exception. An imprecise abort is one where R14_ABORT contains the PC (+4) of the next instruction to execute and not the address of the instruction that caused the abort.
Page 179 The Fault Address Register for all imprecise data aborts is undefined and R14_ABORT is ® the address of the next instruction to execute + 4, which is the same for both Intel StrongARM and Thumb mode. Although the Intel XScale processor guarantees the Base Restored Abort Model for precise aborts, it cannot do so in the case of imprecise aborts.

Page 182: Branch Prediction
A penalty of zero for correct prediction means that the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors can execute the next instruction in the program flow in the cycle following the branch.

Page 191: Risc Super-Pipeline
Sequential consistency of instruction execution relates to two aspects: first, to the order in which the instructions are completed; and second, to the order in which memory is accessed due to load and store instructions. The IXP45X/IXP46X network processors preserve a weak processor consistency because instructions may complete out of order, provided that no data dependencies exist.
Page 192: Instruction Flow Through The Pipeline
All load/store instructions are routed to the memory pipeline after the effective addresses have been calculated in X1. The Intel StrongARM V5TE bx (branch and exchange) instruction, which is used to branch between Intel StrongARM and thumb code, causes the entire pipeline to be flushed (The bx instruction is not dynamically predicted by the BTB).
Page 193: Main Execution Pipeline
The progress of an instruction can stall anywhere in the pipeline. Several pipe stages may stall for various reasons. It is important to understand when and how hazards occur in the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors’ pipeline. Performance degradation can be significant if care is not taken to minimize pipeline stalls.
Page 194: Memory Pipeline
RFU will stop stalling the pipe. The Intel StrongARM architecture specifies that one of the operands for data processing instructions as the shifter operand, where a 32-bit shift can be performed before it is used as an input to the ALU.

3.10.3 Basic Optimizations This section outlines optimizations specific to Intel StrongARM architecture. These optimizations have been modified to suit the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors where needed. 3.10.3.1 Conditional Instructions The IXP45X/IXP46X network processors’ architecture provides the ability to execute instructions conditionally.

Page 197 In the case of the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors, a branch misprediction incurs a penalty of four cycles.

This distribution unevenness can lead to excessive thrashing of the Data and Mini Caches. 3.10.4.2 Data and Mini Cache The IXP45X/IXP46X network processors allow the user to define memory regions whose cache policies can be set by the user (see “Cacheability” on page 88). Supported policies and configurations are: •...
Page 204 Application performance can be improved by converting a part of the cache into on chip RAM and allocating frequently allocated variables to it. Due to the round-robin replacement policy of the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors, all data will eventually be evicted. Therefore to prevent critical or frequently used data from being evicted it should be allocated to on-chip RAM.
Page 205: Data Alignment
® ® Intel XScale Processor—Intel IXP45X and Intel IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors • The stack space of a frequently occurring interrupt, the stack is used only during the duration of the interrupt, which is usually very small. • Video buffers, these are usual large and can occupy the whole cache.
Page 206: Cache Considerations
3.10.4.2.7 Literal Pools The IXP45X/IXP46X network processors do not have a single instruction that can move all literals (a constant or address) to a register. One technique to load registers with literals in the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors is by loading the literal from a memory location that has been initialized with the constant or address.
Page 207: Prefetch Considerations
Prefetch also applies to data writing when the memory type is enabled as write- allocate. The prefetch load instruction of the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors is a true prefetch instruction because the load destination is the data or mini-data cache and not a register.
Page 208 Similarly rearranging sections of data structures so that sections often written fit in the same half cache line, 16 bytes for the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors, can reduce cache eviction write-backs. On a global scale, techniques such as array merging can enhance the spatial locality of the data.

Page 212: Instruction Scheduling
3.10.5.1 Scheduling Loads On the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors, an LDR instruction has a result latency of three cycles assuming the data being loaded is in the data cache. If the instruction after the LDR needs to use the result of the load, then it would stall for 2 cycles. If possible, the instructions surrounding the LDR instruction should be rearranged.

Consider the following example: r1, r2, r3 r0, [r5] r6, r0, r1 r8, r2, r3 r9, r2, r3 In the code shown above, the ADD instruction following the LDR would stall for two cycles because it uses the result of the load.

Page 215 3.10.5.1.1 Scheduling Load and Store Double (LDRD/STRD) The IXP45X/IXP46X network processors introduce two new double word instructions: LDRD and STRD. LDRD loads 64 bits of data from an effective address into two consecutive registers, conversely, STRD stores 64 bits from two consecutive registers to an effective address.
Page 216: Scheduling Data Processing Instructions
3.10.5.2 Scheduling Data Processing Instructions Most data processing instructions for the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors have a result latency of one cycle. This means that the current instruction is able to use the result from the previous data processing instruction. However, the result latency is two cycles if the current instruction needs to use the result of the previous data processing instruction for a shift by immediate.
Page 217: Scheduling Multiply Instructions

1s. In octet-level single-PHY (SPHY) mode, the physical interface indicates to the UTOPIA Level 2 Interface on the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors that the physical interface can accept data by de-asserting UTP_OP_FCI (also known as TX_FULL_N/TX_CLAV) signal. The UTOPIA Level 2 Interface subsequently transmits data to the PHY at the same time, asserting UTP_OP_FCO (also known as TX_ENB_N).
Page 273 The physical interface that is prepared to send a cell — and configured to the address signals that match the values contained on the UTP_IP_ADDR signals — responds to the UTOPIA Level 2 Interface on the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors by driving the UTP_IP_FCI (also known as RX_EMPTY_N/RX_CLAV) signal, to inform the UTOPIA Level 2 Interface that the physical interface is ready to send a cell.

Page 278: Usb 1.1 Device Controller
A working knowledge of the USB standard is vital to effective use of this chapter. The ® ® Universal Serial Bus Device Controller (UDC) of the Intel IXP45X and Intel IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors is USB-compliant and supports all standard device requests issued by the host.
Page 279: Device Configuration
The UDC uses a dual-port memory to support FIFO operations. Each Bulk and Isochronous Endpoint FIFO structure is double-buffered to enable the endpoint to process one packet as it assembles another. The Intel XScale processor can fill and empty the FIFOs. An interrupt is generated when a packet has been received.
Page 280: Usb Operation
USB Operation After an Intel XScale processor reset — or when the USB host issues a USB reset — the UDC configures all endpoints and is forced to use the USB default address, 0. After the UDC configures the endpoints, the USB host assigns the UDC a unique address.
Page 281: Bit Encoding
® ® USB 1.1 Device Controller—Intel IXP45X and Intel IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors By decoding the polarity of the UDC+ and UDC- pins and using differential data, four distinct states are represented. Two of the four states are used to represent data. A 1 indicates that UDC+ is high and UDC- is low.
Page 282: Field Formats
® ® Intel IXP45X and Intel IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors—USB 1.1 Device Controller Each time a 0 occurs, the receiver logic synchronizes the baud clock to the incoming data (thus producing the clock). To ensure the receiver is periodically synchronized, any time six consecutive 1s are detected in the serial bit stream, a 0 is automatically inserted by the transmitter.
Page 283: Packet Formats
® ® USB 1.1 Device Controller—Intel IXP45X and Intel IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors The host is then responsible for assigning a unique address to each device on the bus. Addresses are assigned in the enumeration process, one device at a time. After the host assigns the an address to the UDC, the UDC only responds to transactions directed to that address.

64 bytes or less, and isochronous endpoints with a maximum packet size of 256 bytes or less. To make the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors more adaptable, the UDC supports a total of four configurations.

UDC Data Register 11 (UDDR11) Endpoint 11 is a double-buffered, bulk IN endpoint that is 64 bytes deep. Data can be loaded via direct Intel XScale processor writes. Because it is double-buffered, up to two packets of data may be loaded for transmission.
Page 349: Udc Data Register 12
Since it is double-buffered, up to two packets of data may be ready. Via direct read from the Intel XScale processor, the data can be removed from the UDC. If one packet is being removed and the packet behind it has already been received, the UDC will issue a NAK to the host the next time it sends an OUT packet to Endpoint 12.

The Expansion bus controller should ignore all control signals when EX_SLAVE_CS_N is not asserted and never drive EX_WAIT_N/EX_DATA/EX_PARITY when its not being accessed. External masters must request the Expansion bus and only own the bus when it is granted.

IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors. The IXP45X/IXP46X network processors provide 16 general-purpose input/output pins for use in generating and capturing application specific input and output signals. Each pin can be programmed as either an input or output, and when GPIO0 through GPIO12 are programmed as an input, they can be used as an interrupt source.
Page 777: Theory Of Operation
Each register can be read through the APB interface and all registers except GPINR can be written through the APB interface. The GPIO on the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors can be configured to be used as general-purpose inputs or general-purpose outputs. Three 16-bit registers are used in order to configure, initialize, and use the general-purpose I/O.

Page 788: Occurrence Events
An occurrence event causes the counter to increase by one each time the event occurs. Table 254 presents the various occurrence events that are monitored on the IXP45X/ IXP46X network processors. Note that the PMU monitors two AHB buses, the north and south.

The Interrupt Controller takes as inputs 63 individual interrupts (with interrupt 64 reserved). These 63 individual interrupts originate either from internal blocks on the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors or from dedicated GPIO pins. Interrupts are asserted if set (‘1’) and de-asserted if reset (‘0’).
Page 807: Interrupt Priority
The interrupts collected by the Interrupt Controller are combined and configured to be an FIQ interrupt or an IRQ. The FIQ signal going to the Intel XScale processor will be set when any of the interrupts assigned to be an FIQ become set. The IRQ signal going to the Intel XScale processor will be set when any of the interrupts assigned to be an IRQ are set.
Page 808: Assigning Fiq Or Irq Interrupts
The Interrupt Controller for the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors provides the capability to assign each interrupt as an FIQ or an IRQ interrupt. As discussed earlier, the Intel XScale processor only receives a single FIQ interrupt signal and a single IRQ interrupt signal.
Page 809: Enabling And Disabling Interrupts
For instance, interrupt number 0 is disabled and an interrupt occurs on interrupt number 0. The interrupt generated by interrupt number 0 will not be seen by the Intel XScale processor. The Interrupt-Enable Register is a pair of 32-bit registers that can individually enable or disable each of the 64 interrupts.

Page 876: C Bus Interface Unit Block Diagram
® ® Intel IXP45X and Intel IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors—I2C Bus Interface Unit The I C unit’s state machines and functionality are partially controlled by using local memory mapped registers (MMRs) that store configuration and operation information. The registers are controlled from the APB bus and reside in the i2c_registers block.
Page 877: C Bus Configuration Example
C transactions are either initiated by the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors as a master or are received by the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors as a slave. Both conditions may result in the processor doing reads, writes, or both to the I C bus.
Page 878: Modes Of Operation
C Bus Interface Unit is in idle mode (neither receiving or transmitting serial data), the unit defaults to Slave-Receive mode. This allows the interface to monitor the bus and receive any slave addresses that might be intended for the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors.
Page 879: Start And Stop Bus States
“Slave Operations” on page 889. When the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors want to initiate a read or write on the I bus, the I C Bus Interface Unit will transition from the default Slave-Receive mode to Master-Transmit mode.

• Attempts to access units with types of accesses the units are not designed to accept (such as INCR 16 for many IXP45X/IXP46X network processors), or • Data Corruption in the target, indicated by either parity errors or uncorrectable ECC errors in memory.
Page 952 AHB error will be sending an interrupt to the Interrupt Controller. This allows the Intel XScale processor to know that an error condition exists, and attempt to solve in whatever manner determined appropriate for the given system.

IXP45X and Intel IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors Table 298 on page 953 displays the types of coprocessor errors that can be generated to each NPE contained within the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors. Table 298. NPE Coprocessor Error Defined Coprocessor Errors...
Page 954 NPE core stops execution. The NPE also asserts an interrupt to the Intel XScale processor. In addition, the NPE core will indicate to the Coprocessors that an error happened (NPE error). The error indication to the coprocessors is sticky and will be deasserted only on resetting the NPE core.
Page 955 CAM, the SWCP will indicate unsuccessful completion of operation and will not lock-up. ® But the SWCP will assert an interrupt to the Intel XScale Processor indicating the parity error. Other Coprocessors In case of a parity error, continue operation without locking up.
Page 956 Reset state The HSS Coprocessor will be in reset state. The HSS pins will be tri- stated. So the framer can potentially lose sync with the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors. The recommendation is that the HSS framer is also reset at the same time the NPE is soft reset. This could be accomplished by utilizing the GPIO pins on the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors or through other system mechanisms.

MCU interface, it transition to its fault handler. A second such error can irretrievably lose the program counter, causing unpredictable system results. This is the inherent nature of the ARM* architecture which is not altered by the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors.
