Caches
Two 16KB caches are implemented, one for instructions, the other for data, both with an 8-word line size. A 32-bit data bus connects each cache to the ARM9TDMI core allowing a 32-bit instruction to be fetched and fed into the instruction Decode stage of the pipeline at the same time as a 32-bit data access for the Memory stage of the pipeline.
ARM920T function block diagram
PATAG RAM
The ARM920T implements PATAG RAM to perform write-backs from the data cache. The physical address of all the lines held in the data cache is stored by the PATAG memory, removing the need for address translation when evicting a line from the cache.
The MMU features are: * standard ARMv4 MMU mapping sizes, domains, and access protection scheme mapping sizes are 1MB sections, 64KB large pages, 4KB small pages and new 1KB tiny pages access permissions for sections access permissions for large pages and small pages can be specified separately for each quarter of the page (these quarters are called subpages) 16 domains implemented in hardware 64-entry instruction TLB and 64entry data TLB hardware page table walks round-robin replacement algorithm (also called cyclic).
Cache lock-down
Cache lock-down is provided to allow critical code sequences to be locked into the cache to ensure predictability for real-time code. The cache replacement algorithm can be selected by the operating system as either pseudo random or round-robin. Both caches are 64-way setassociative. Lock-down operates on a per-set basis
*
* *
MMUs
The standard ARM920T implements an enhanced ARMv4 MMU to provide translation and access permission checks for the instruction and data address ports of the ARM9TDMI. * * * *
Write buffer
The ARM920T also incorporates a 16-entry write buffer, to avoid stalling the processor when writes to external memory are performed.

System controller
The system controller oversees the interaction between the instruction and data Cache and the Bus Interface Unit. It controls internal arbitration between the blocks and stalls appropriate blocks when required. The system controller arbitrates between instruction and data access to schedule single or simultaneous requests to the MMUs and the Bus Interface Unit. The system controller receives acknowledgement from each resource to allow execution to continue.
Control coprocessor (CP15)
The CP15 allows configuration of the caches, the write buffer, and other ARM920T options. Several registers within CP15 are available for program control, providing access to features such as: * * invalidate whole TLB using CP15 invalidate TLB entry, selected by modified virtual address, using CP15 independent lock-down of instruction TLB and data TLB using CP15 register 10 big or little-endian operation low power state memory partitioning and protection page table address cache and TLB maintenance operations.

The ARMv4T Architecture
Registers
The ARM9TDMI processor core consists of a 32-bit datapath and associated control logic. That datapath contains 31 generalpurpose registers, coupled to a full shifter, Arithmetic Logic Unit, and multiplier. At any one time 16 registers are visible to the user. The remainder are synonyms used to speed up exception processing. Register 15 is the Program Counter (PC) and can be used in all instructions to reference data relative to the current instruction. R14 holds the return address after a subroutine call. R13 is used (by software convention) as a stack pointer.
Current Program Status Register (CPSR). The CPSR holds:
* * * * four ALU flags (Negative, Zero, Carry, and Overflow), two interrupt disable bits (one for each type of interrupt), a bit to indicate ARM or Thumb execution, and five bits to encode the current processor mode.
Four classes of instructions
The ARM and Thumb instruction sets can be divided into four broad classes of instruction: * * * * data processing instructions load and store instructions branch instructions coprocessor instructions.
All five exception modes also have a Saved Program Status Register (SPSR) which holds the CPSR of the task immediately before the exception occurred.
Data processing
The data processing instructions operate on data held in general purpose registers. Of the two source operands, one is always a register. The other has two basic forms: * * an immediate value a register value optionally shifted.
Exception types
ARM9TDMI supports five types of exception, and a privileged processing mode for each type. The types of exceptions are: * * * fast interrupt (FIQ) normal interrupt (IRQ) memory aborts (used to implement memory protection or virtual memory) attempted execution of an undefined instruction software interrupts (SWIs).
Modes and exception handling
All exceptions have banked registers for R14 and R13. After an exception, R14 holds the return address for exception processing. This address is used both to return after the exception is processed and to address the instruction that caused the exception. R13 is banked across exception modes to provide each exception handler with a private stack pointer. The fast interrupt mode also banks registers 8 to 12 so that interrupt processing can begin without the need to save or restore these registers. A seventh processing mode, System mode, does not have any banked registers. It uses the User mode registers. System mode runs tasks that require a privileged processor mode and allows them to invoke all classes of exceptions.
* *
If the operand is a shifted register the shift amount might have an immediate value or the value of another register. Four types of shift can be specified. Most data processing instructions can perform a shift followed by a logical or arithmetic operation. Multiply instructions come in two classes: * * normal - 32-bit result long - 32-bit result variants.
Conditional execution
All ARM instructions (with the exception of BLX) are conditionally executed. Instructions optionally update the four condition code flags (Negative, Zero, Carry, and Overflow) according to their result. Subsequent instructions are conditionally executed according to the status of flags. Fifteen conditions are implemented.
Both types of multiply instruction can optionally perform an accumulate operation.
Load and store
The second class of instruction is load and store instructions. These instructions come in two main types: * * load or store the value of a single register load and store multiple register values.
Status registers
All other processor states are held in status registers. The current operating processor status is in the

The ARMv4T Architecture
Load and store single register instructions can transfer a 32-bit word, a 16-bit halfword and an 8-bit byte between memory and a register. Byte and halfword loads might be automatically zero extended or sign extended as they are loaded. Swap instructions perform an atomic load and store as a synchronization primitive. subroutine return address and the PC values are in general-purpose registers, very efficient subroutine calls can be constructed.
Branch
As well as allowing any data processing or load instruction to change control flow (by writing the PC) a standard branch instruction is provided with 24-bit signed offset, allowing forward and backward branches of up to 32MB.
Addressing modes
Load and store instructions have three primary addressing modes: * * * offset pre-indexed post-indexed.
Branch with Link
There is a Branch with Link (BL) that allows efficient subroutine calls. BL preserves the address of the instruction after the branch in R14 (the Link Register or LR). This allows a move instruction to put the LR in to the PC and return to the instruction after the branch. The third type of branch (BX and BLX) switches between ARM and Thumb instruction sets optionally with the return address preserving link option.
They are formed by adding or subtracting an immediate or registerbased offset to or from a base register. Register-based offsets can also be scaled with shift operations. Pre-indexed and post-indexed addressing modes update the base register with the base plus offset calculation. As the PC is a generalpurpose register, a 32-bit value can be loaded directly into the PC to perform a jump to any address in the 4GB memory space.
Coprocessor
There are three types of coprocessor instructions: * coprocessor data processing instructions invoke a coprocessor specific internal operation coprocessor register transfer instructions allow a coprocessor value to be transferred to or from an ARM register coprocessor data transfer instructions transfer coprocessor data to or from memory, where the ARM calculates the address of the transfer.
Block transfers
Load and store multiple instructions perform a block transfer of any number of the general purpose registers to or from memory. Four addressing modes are provided: * * * * pre-increment addressing post-increment addressing pre-decrement addressing post-decrement addressing.
*
*
The base address is specified by a register value (that can be optionally updated after the transfer). As the

ARM920T
ARM9TDMI processor core
The ARM9TDMI processor core implements the ARMv4T Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). The ARMv4T ISA is a superset of the ARMv4 ISA (implemented by the StrongARM(R) processor) with additional support for Thumb instruction set (16-bit compressed ARM instruction set). The ARMv4T ISA is implemented by the ARM7TM Thumb family; giving full upward compatibility to the ARM9TM Thumb family. * * 32-bit ARM instruction set 16-bit Thumb instruction set.
ARM9TDMI integer pipeline stages
The integer pipeline consists of five stages to maximize instruction throughput on ARM9TDMI: F: Fetch D: Decode and register read E: Execute shift and alu, or address calculate, or multiply M: Memory access and multiply W: Write register
The ARM instruction set allows a program to achieve maximum performance with the minimum number of instructions. The majority of ARM9TDMI instructions are executed in a single cycle. These are shown in the ARM9TDMI instruction execution timing table on page 10. The simpler Thumb instruction set offers much increased code density increasing space optimization. Code can switch between the ARM and Thumb instruction sets on any procedure call.

Pipelining
By overlapping the various stages of execution, ARM9TDMI maximizes the clock rate achievable to execute each instruction. It delivers a throughput approaching one instruction per cycle.

Instruction class Condition failed ALU instruction ALU instruction with register shift Issue cycles 1 1 2 3 4 1..7 1 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 Result delay NA 0 0 NA 0 1..7 0 NA 0 1 2 NA Position in list + 1 NA 1 NA 1 NA Number of words NA
32-bit data buses
ARM9TDMI provides 32-bit data buses: * * between the processor core and the instruction and data caches between coprocessors and the processor core.
MOV PC, Rx ALU instruction dest = PC MUL MSR (flags only) MSR (mode change) MRS LDR LDR with shifted offset STR LDM
This allows ARM9TDMI to achieve very high-performance on many code sequences, especially those that require data movement in parallel with data processing.
Coprocessors and pipelines
The ARM9TDMI coprocessor interface allows full independent processing in the ARM execution pipeline and supports up to16 independent coprocessors.
STM SWP CDP MRC MCR
Debug features
The ARM9TDMI processor core also incorporates a sophisticated debug unit to allow both software tasks and external debug hardware to perform hardware and software breakpoint, single stepping, register, and memory access. This functionality is made available to software as a coprocessor and is accessible from hardware via the JTAG port. Fullspeed, real-time execution of the processor is maintained until a breakpoint is hit. At this point control is passed either to a software handler or to JTAG control.

System Issues and Third Party Support
JTAG debug
The internal state of the ARM920T is examined through a JTAG-style serial interface, which allows instructions to be serially inserted into the pipeline of the core without using the external data bus. Therefore, when in debug state, a store-multiple (STM) can be inserted into the instruction pipeline. This exports the contents of the ARM9TDMI registers. This data can be serially shifted out without affecting the rest of the system. The ARM Architecture today enjoys broad third party support. The ARM9 Thumb Family processors strong software compatibility with existing ARM families ensures that its users benefit immediately from existing support. ARM is working with its software, EDA, and semiconductor partners to extend this support to use new ARM9 Family features. * 20+ Real Time Operating Systems including: - Windriver VxWorks - Sun Microsystems Chorus - JavaOS - Microtec VRTX - JMI - Embedded System Products RTXC - Integrated Systems pSOS. Major OS including: - Microsoft WindowsCE - PSION EPOC - NetBSD - Linux UNIX - Geoworks Application software components: - speech and image compression - software modem - Chinese character input network protocols - Digital AC3 decode - MPEG3 encode and decode - MPEG4 decode and encode Hardware/software cosimulation tools from leading EDA Vendors.
