摘要:
A system and method for providing efficient block transfer operations through a test access port uses a Fastdata register. The Fastdata register, in part, emulates a pending process access bit (“PrAcc”) typically found in a Control register associated with the test access port. When a Fastdata access (either a Fastdata upload or a Fastdata download) is requested by a probe coupled to the test access port, the Fastdata register is serially coupled to a data register also associated with the test access port. With these registers so coupled and through the operation of the Fastdata register, downloading and uploading data can be accomplished using a single register operation.

A configurable coprocessor interface between a central processing unit (CPU) and a coprocessor is provided. The coprocessor interface has an instruction transfer signal group for transferring different instruction types from the CPU to the coprocessor, sequentially or in parallel, a busy signal group, for allowing the coprocessor to signal the CPU that it cannot receive a transfer of one or more of the different instruction types, and an instruction order signal group for indicating to the coprocessor a relative execution order for multiple instructions that are transferred in parallel. In addition, the coprocessor interface includes separate data transfer signal groups for data being transferred from the CPU to the coprocessor, and for data being transferred from the coprocessor to the CPU, along with a data order signal group for indicating a relative order of data (if transferred out-of-order). The interface further includes signal designations which allow for multiple issue groups between the CPU and one or more coprocessors.

A system and method for program counter and data tracing in a multi-issue processor is disclosed. Instructions are traced in program sequence order. In one embodiment instructions are traced in graduation order from a reorder buffer. The tracing mechanism of the present invention enables increased visibility into the hardware and software state of the processor core.

摘要:
A configurable coprocessor interface between a central processing unit (CPU) and a coprocessor is provided. The interface groups signals that together comprises all the necessary information for a coprocessor to issue and execute instructions. Multiple issue groups are formed where each group supports different types of instructions, such as arithmetic instructions, or data transfer instructions. The coprocessor interface has an instruction transfer signal group for transferring different instructions from the CPU to the multi-issue coprocessor, sequentially or in parallel, an issue group designator for specifying an issue path within the multi-issue coprocessor for execution of the instructions, a busy signal group, for allowing the coprocessor to signal the CPU that it cannot receive a transfer of one or more of the different instructions, and an instruction order signal group for indicating to the coprocessor a relative execution order for multiple instructions that are transferred in parallel.
