The RPS is used as an additional method to program or
read the registers of the SAA7146A. Its main function is
programming the registers on demand without delay via
the interrupt handler of the host system.
Because different applications of the SAA7146A can run
independently on and asynchronously to each other the
RPS is capable of running two parallel tasks. Both tasks
are completely equal to each other and each has its own
set of registers (RPS address, RPS page, HBI threshold
and RPS time out value). Each task can be separately
enabled by setting its related ERPSx bit in the Main control
register 1 (see Table 10). To allow communication
between both tasks and the CPU there are five signals
which can be set or reset from both tasks (see Table 11).
The programming of a task is defined by an instruction list
in the system main memory that consists of RPS
commands. The operation of the RPS is initiated on
command by setting the ERPS bit of the desired task in the
Main control register 1.

REGISTER, CLEAR SIGNAL, UPLOAD and PAUSE. Before uploading the register contents the DEBI_DONE flag
of a former transfer has to be cleared. With this, the following PAUSE command waits correctly for DEBI_DONE of
the just started DEBI block transfer.

The processing of RPS can be controlled by a sequence
of wait commands on special events. Furthermore the
program flow can be controlled via conditional jumps
related to the communication with the host setting
semaphores or special internal interrupts.
7.4.1
During a reset the ERPSx (Enable RPS of task ‘x’) bits in
the Main control register 1 (see Table 10) of the
SAA7146A are cleared so that an RPS task has to be
explicitly started.
7.4.2
Table 12 shows the events available during the execution
of an RPS program. The execution can for example wait
on these events to become true. In general these events
are set if a rising edge of the corresponding signal occurs
and are cleared if a falling edge of the signal occurs.
If signals are logic HIGH after the reset and no rising edge
occurs the corresponding event (available in an RPS
program execution) will not be set.
