Software support required for this block consists of the FLASH BIOS which implements low
level primitives for programming, erasing, and checking validity of memory blocks.
IRDA Controller
The IRDA controller is essentially a specialized, fixed function UART. The separate, 2-word,
transmit and receive FIFOs reduce the interrupt overhead associated with data transmission.
At the maximum data rate that the IR transceiver can support (115 kb/s) the CPU will get an
interrupt every 557 ms. (See
.)
