Byte lane control
The memory controller generates the byte lane control signals
BLSOUT[3:0]_n
according
to these attributes:
Little or big endian operation
AMBA transfer width, indicated by
HSIZE[2:0]
External memory bank databus width, defined within each control register
The decoded
HADDR[1:0]
value for write accesses only
Word transfers are the largest size transfers supported by the memory controller. Any
access tried with a size greater that a word causes an error response. Each memory
chip select can be 8, 16, or 32 bits wide. The memory type used determines how the
WEOUT_n
and
BLSOUT_n
signals are connected to provide byte, halfword, and word
access.
For read accesses, you must control the
BLSOUT_n
signals by driving them all high or
all low. Do this by programming the byte lane state (PB) bit in the Static
Configuration [3:0] register. "Memory banks constructed from 8-bit or non-byte-
