2.2 Arbitration
DDR controller, once configured, executes an exit of self-refresh mode which starts
back on the DDR devices. There is no boot scripts provision for this mode, therefore
an external eeprom is required to activate this mode.
The START and WARM_START fields of MMIO register IP_2031_CTL will be set to
‘0’ when the respective start action has completed. Do not perform a start action
while the DDR controller is still busy performing a previous start action.
The DDR SDRAM Controller provides an arbiter between the DMA traffic (generated
by the PNX17xx Series modules) and the TM5250 CPU as pictured in
page
The DDR SDRAM Controller arbiter is responsible for scheduling between MTL
transaction requests from the different MTL ports. The arbitration scheme has been
optimized to achieve a high DDR bandwidth efficiency (at the cost of DDR latency).
The arbitration flow is pictured in
9-3.
