Block Transfer Module Templates Appendix C

Block Transfer Lengths

A block transfer has three lengths associated with it.

CfgLen

The configuration length, ’CfgLen’, is the length of the additional
configuration block transfer write data sent once to the block transfer module
to initialize it.

BtwLen

The block transfer write length, ’BtwLen’, is the length of the block transfer
write sent to the module during normal data update.

BtrLen

The block transfer read length, ’BtrLen’, is the length of the block transfer read
received from the module during normal data update. Default Configuration
Data Values

The template usually contains default values for the configuration block
transfer write.

CfgData

Each value consists of the keyword ’CfgData’, an offset enclosed in square
brackets, an equal sign, and the data value.

Offset Value

The offset is an offset into the configuration block transfer write and ranges
from 0…(BtwLen+CfgLen-1).

Data Value

The data value can be expressed in decimal or hexadecimal (leading 0x, as
shown in the example above).

EXAMPLE

CfgData[ 8]=0x0fff
