11.6.4.1.3 General-Purpose Signals (G x T x , GO x )
The general-purpose signals (GPL[1–5]) each have two bits in the RAM word that define the logical value
of the signal to be changed at the rising edge of T1 and/or at the rising edge of T3. GPL0 offer
enhancements beyond the other GPLx lines.
GPL0 can be controlled by an address line specified in MxMR[G0CLx]. To use this feature, set G0H and
G0L in the RAM word. For example, for a SIMM with multiple banks, this address line can be used to
switch between banks.
11.6.4.1.4 Loop Control
The LOOP bit in the RAM word (bit 24) specifies the beginning and end of a set of UPM RAM words that
are to be repeated. The first time LOOP = 1, the memory controller recognizes it as a loop start word and
loads the memory loop counter with the corresponding contents of the loop field shown in Table 11-37..
The next RAM word for which LOOP = 1 is recognized as a loop end word. When it is reached, the loop
counter is decremented by one.
Continued loop execution depends on the loop counter. If the counter is not zero, the next RAM word
executed is the loop start word. Otherwise, the next RAM word executed is the one after the loop end word.
Loops can be executed sequentially but cannot be nested.
11.6.4.1.5 Repeat Execution of Current RAM Word (REDO)
The REDO function is useful for wait-state insertion in a long UPM routine that would otherwise need too
many RAM words. Setting the REDO bits of the RAM word to a nonzero value to cause the UPM to
reexecute the current RAM word up to three times, according to
Table 11-36 .
Special care must be taken in the following cases:
• When UTA and REDO are set together, PSDVAL is asserted the number of times specified by the
REDO function.
• When LOOP and REDO are set together, the loop mechanism works as usual and the line is
repeated according to the REDO function.
• LAST and REDO should not be set together.
• REDO should not be used within the exception routine.
Figure 11-79 shows an example of REDO use.
