6.7 Servicing The Host Interface
The HDI08 can be serviced by using one of the following protocols:
• Polling
• Interrupts
6.7.1 HDI08 Host Processor Data Transfer
To the host processor, the HDI08 appears as a contiguous block of static RAM. To transfer data between
itself and the HDI08, the host processor performs the following steps:
1. Asserts the HDI08 address to select the register to be read or written.
2. Selects the direction of the data transfer. If it is writing, the host processor drives the data on the
bus.
3. Strobes the data transfer.
6.7.2 Polling
In the polling mode of operation, the HOREQ/HTRQ signal is not connected to the host processor and
HACK must be deasserted to ensure IVR data is not being driven on H0-H7 when other registers are being
polled.
The host processor first performs a data read transfer to read the ISR register.This allows the host processor
to assess the status of the HDI08:
1. If RXDF=1, the receive byte registers are full and therefore a data read can be performed by the
host processor.
2. If TXDE=1, the transmit byte registers are empty. A data write can be performed by the host
processor.
3. If TRDY=1, the transmit byte registers and the receive data register on the DSP side are empty.
Data written by the host processor is transferred directly to the DSP side.
4. If (HF2 • HF3)
≠
0, depending on how the host flags have been defined, may indicate an
application-specific state within the DSP core has been reached. Intervention by the host processor
may be required.
5. If HREQ=1, the HOREQ/HTRQ/HRRQ signal has been asserted, and the DSP is requesting the
attention of the host processor. One of the previous four conditions exists.
After the appropriate data transfer has been made, the corresponding status bit is updated to reflect the
transfer.
If the host processor has issued a command to the DSP by writing the CVR and setting the HC bit, it can
read the HC bit in the CVR to determine when the command has been accepted by the interrupt controller
in the DSP core. When the command has been accepted for execution, the HC bit is cleared by the interrupt
controller in the DSP core.
