Chapter 2 Hardware System
2.1 CPU
2.1.1 CPU Introduction
The AM1808 microprocessor contains an ARM RISC CPU for general-purpose processing and
systems control. The AM1808 ARM microprocessor consists of the following primary components:
ARM926EJ-S RISC processor core and associated memories
A set of I/O peripherals
A powerful DMA subsystem and SDRAM EMIF interface
2.1.2 CPU Features
Clock
The OSCIN/ OSCOUT system input clock (24 MHz) is used to generate the main source clock for
the device. It also provides the DPLLs to several CPU other modules.
Reset
The function of reset is determined by the input signal on RESETN pin of the CPU, Reset is
enabled when LOW level signal (high to low) is given.
ARM Subsystem
The ARM Subsystem includes the following features:
ARM926EJ-S RISC processor
ARMv5TEJ (32/16-bit) instruction set
Little endian
System Control Co-Processor 15 (CP15)
MMU
16KB Instruction cache
16KB Data cache
Write Buffer
Embedded Trace Module and Embedded Trace Buffer (ETM/ETB)
ARM Interrupt controller

ARM926EJ-S RISC CPU
The ARM Subsystem integrates the ARM926EJ-S processor. The ARM926EJ-S processor is a
member of ARM9 family of general-purpose microprocessors. This processor is targeted at
multi-tasking applications where full memory management, high performance, low die size, and
low power are all important. The ARM926EJ-S processor supports the 32-bit ARM and 16 bit
THUMB instruction sets, enabling the user to trade off between high performance and high code
density. Specifically, the ARM926EJ-S processor supports the ARMv5TEJ instruction set, which
includes features for efficient execution of Java byte codes, providing Java performance similar to
Just in Time (JIT) Java interpreter, but without associated code overhead.
The ARM926EJ-S processor supports the ARM debug architecture and includes logic to assist in
both hardware and software debug. The ARM926EJ-S processor has a Harvard architecture and
provides a complete high performance subsystem, including:
ARM926EJ -S integer core
CP15 system control coprocessor
Memory Management Unit (MMU)
Separate instruction and data caches
Write buffer
Separate instruction and data (internal RAM) interfaces
Separate instruction and data AHB bus interfaces
Embedded Trace Module and Embedded Trace Buffer (ETM/ETB)
ARM Internal Memory
8 KB RAM
64 KB built-in ROM
Embedded Trace Module and Embedded Trace Buffer (ETM/ETB)
