Hardware Overview
The RM5231A offers a high-level of integration targeted at high-performance embedded applications. The key elements of the RM5231A are briefly described below.
3.1
Superscalar Dispatch
The RM5231A has an asymmetric superscalar dispatch unit which allows it to issue an integer instruction and a floating-point computation instruction simultaneously. Integer instructions include alu, branch, load/store, and floating-point load/store, while floating-point computation instructions include floating-point add, subtract, combined multiply-add, and converts. In combination with its high-throughput fully pipelined floating-point execution unit, the superscalar capability of the RM5231A provides unparalleled price/performance in computationally intensive embedded applications.
3.2
CPU Registers
The RM5231A contains 32 general purpose registers, two special purpose registers for integer multiplication and division, a program counter, and no condition code bits. Figure 2 shows the user visible state.

3.3
Pipeline
For integer operations, loads, stores, and other non-floating-point operations, the RM5231A uses the 5-stage pipeline. In addition to the integer pipeline, the RM5231A uses an extended 7-stage pipeline for floating-point operations. Figure 3 shows the RM5231A integer pipeline. As illustrated in the figure, up to five integer instructions can be executing simultaneously.

3.4
Integer Unit
The RM5231A integer unit includes thirty-two general purpose 64-bit registers, a load/store architecture with single cycle ALU operations (add, sub, logical, shift) and an autonomous multiply/divide unit. Additional register resources include: the HI/LO result registers for the twooperand integer multiply/divide operations, and the program counter (PC). The RM5231A implements the MIPS IV Instruction Set Architecture, and is therefore fully upward compatible with applications that run on processors implementing the earlier generation MIPS I-III instruction sets.
3.5
Register File
The RM5231A has thirty-two general purpose registers with register location 0 (r0) hard wired to a zero value. These registers are used for scalar integer operations and address calculation. The register file has two read ports and one write port and is fully bypassed to minimize operation latency in the pipeline.
3.6
ALU
The RM5231A ALU consists of an integer adder/subtractor, a logic unit, and a shifter. The adder performs address calculations in addition to arithmetic operations. The logic unit performs all logical and zero shift data moves. The shifter performs shifts and store alignment operations. Each of these units is optimized to perform all operations in a single processor cycle.
3.7
Integer Multiply/Divide
The RM5231A has a dedicated integer multiply/divide unit optimized for high-speed multiply and multiply-accumulate operations. Table 1 shows the performance of the multiply/divide unit on each operation

The baseline MIPS IV ISA specifies that the results of a multiply or divide operation be placed in the Hi and Lo registers. These values can then be transferred to the general purpose register file using the Move-from-Hi and Move-from-Lo (MFHI/MFLO) instructions. In addition to the baseline MIPS IV integer multiply instructions, the RM5231A also implements the 3 operand multiply instruction, MUL. This instruction specifies that the multiply result go directly to the integer register file rather than the Lo register. The portion of the multiply that would have normally gone into the Hi register is discarded. For applications where it is known that the upper half of the multiply result is not required, using the MUL instruction eliminates the necessity of executing an explicit MFLO instruction. Also included in the RM5231A are the multiply-add instructions, MADU/MAD. This instruction multiplies two operands and adds the resulting product to the current contents of the Hi and Lo registers. The multiply-accumulate operation is the core primitive of almost all signal processing algorithms allowing the RM5231A to eliminate the need for a separate DSP engine in many embedded applications.
3.8
Floating-Point Co-Processor
The RM5231A incorporates a high-performance fully pipelined floating-point co-processor which includes a floating-point register file and autonomous execution units for multiply/add/convert and divide/square root. The floating-point coprocessor is a tightly coupled execution unit, decoding and executing instructions in parallel with, and in the case of floating-point loads and stores, in cooperation with the integer unit. The superscalar capabilities of the RM5231A allow floatingpoint computation instructions to issue concurrently with integer instructions.
3.9
Floating-Point Unit
The RM5231A floating-point execution unit supports single and double precision arithmetic, as specified in the IEEE Standard 754. The execution unit is broken into a separate divide/square root unit and a pipelined multiply/add unit. Overlap of the divide/square root and multiply/add operations is supported. The RM5231A maintains fully precise floating-point exceptions while allowing both overlapped and pipelined operations. Precise exceptions are extremely important in object-oriented programming environments and highly desirable for debugging in any environment.

3.10 Floating-Point General Register File
The floating-point general register file (FGR) is made up of thirty-two 64-bit registers. With the floating-point load and store double instructions (LDC1 and SDC1), the floating-point unit can take advantage of the 64-bit wide data cache and issue a floating-point co-processor load or store doubleword instruction in every cycle. The floating-point control register space contains two registers; one for determining configuration and revision information for the coprocessor and one for control and status information. These are primarily used for diagnostic software, exception handling, state saving and restoring, and control of rounding modes. To support superscalar operation, the FGR has four read ports and two write ports, and is fully bypassed to minimize operation latency in the pipeline. Three of the read ports and one write port are used to support the combined multiply-add instruction while the fourth read and second write port allows a concurrent floating-point load or store.

3.11 System Control Coprocessor (CP0)
The system control coprocessor, also called coprocessor 0 or CP0 in the MIPS architecture, is responsible for the virtual memory sub-system, the exception control system, and the diagnostics capability of the processor. The memory management unit controls the virtual memory system page mapping. It consists of an instruction address translation buffer, ITLB, a data address translation buffer, DTLB, a Joint instruction and data address translation buffer, JTLB, and co-processor registers used by the virtual memory mapping sub-system.
3.12 System Control Co-Processor Registers
The RM5231A incorporates all system control coprocessor (CP0) registers on-chip. These registers provide the path through which the virtual memory system's page mapping is examined and modified, exceptions are handled, and operating modes are controlled (kernel vs. user mode, interrupts enabled or disabled, cache features). In addition, the RM5231A includes registers to implement a real-time cycle counting facility to aid in cache diagnostic testing and to assist in data error detection. Figure 4 shows the CP0 registers.

3.13 Virtual to Physical Address Mapping
The RM5231A provides three modes of virtual addressing: * * * user mode kernel mode supervisor mode
This mechanism is available to system software to provide a secure environment for user processes. Bits in the CP0 Status register determine which virtual addressing mode is used. In the user mode, the RM5231A provides a single, uniform virtual address space of 1TB (2 GB in 32-bit mode). When operating in the kernel mode, four distinct virtual address spaces, totalling over 2.5 TB (4 GB in 32-bit mode), are simultaneously available and are differentiated by the high-order bits of the virtual address. The RM5231A processor also supports a supervisor mode in which the virtual address space over 2 TB (2.5 GB in 32-bit mode), divided into three regions based on the high-order bits of the virtual address. When the RM5231A is configured as a 64-bit microprocessor, the virtual address space layout is an upward compatible extension of the 32-bit virtual address space layout.

3.14 Joint TLB
For fast virtual-to-physical address translation, the RM5231A uses a large, fully associative TLB that maps 96 virtual pages to their corresponding physical addresses. As indicated by its name, the joint TLB (JTLB) is used for both instruction and data translations. The JTLB is organized as 48 pairs of even-odd entries, and maps a virtual address and address space identifier into the large, 64 GB physical address space. Two mechanisms are provided to assist in controlling the amount of mapped space and the replacement characteristics of various memory regions. First, the page size can be configured, on a per-entry basis, to use page sizes in the range of 4 KB to 16 MB (in multiples of 4). The CP0 Page Mask register is loaded with the desired page size of a mapping, and that size is stored into the TLB along with the virtual address when a new entry is written. Thus, operating systems can create special purpose maps; for example, an entire frame buffer can be memory mapped using only one TLB entry. The second mechanism controls the replacement algorithm when a TLB miss occurs. The RM5231A provides a random replacement algorithm to select a TLB entry to be written with a new mapping. However, the processor also provides a mechanism whereby a system specific number of mappings can be locked into the TLB, thereby avoiding random replacement. This mechanism uses the Wired register to `lock' certain TLB entries and allows the operating system

RM5231ATM Microprocessor with 32-Bit System Bus Data Sheet Preliminary
to guarantee that certain pages are always mapped for performance reasons and for deadlock avoidance. This mechanism also facilitates the design of real-time systems by allowing deterministic access to critical software. The JTLB also contains information that controls the cache coherency protocol for each page. Specifically, each page has attribute bits to determine the following coherency algorithms: * * * * * * * uncached non-coherent write-back non-coherent write-through with write-allocate non-coherent write-through without write-allocate sharable exclusive update
The non-coherent protocols are used for both code and data on the RM5231A, with data using write-back or write-through depending on the application. The coherency attributes generate coherent transaction types on the system interface. However, in the RM5231A cache coherency is not supported, hence the coherency attributes should never be used.
3.15 Instruction TLB
The RM5231A implements a 2-entry instruction TLB (ITLB) to minimize contention for the JTLB, eliminate the timing critical path of translating through a large associative array, and save power. Each ITLB entry maps a 4 KB page. The ITLB improves performance by allowing instruction address translation to occur in parallel with data address translation. When a miss occurs on an instruction address translation by the ITLB, the least-recently used ITLB entry is filled from the JTLB. The operation of the ITLB is completely transparent to the user.
3.16 Data TLB
The RM5231A implements a 4-entry data TLB (DTLB) for the same reasons cited above for the ITLB. Each DTLB entry maps a 4 KB page. The DTLB improves performance by allowing data address translation to occur in parallel with instruction address translation. When a miss occurs on a data address translation by the DTLB, the DTLB is filled from the JTLB. The DTLB refill is pseudo-LRU: the least recently used entry of the least recently used pair of entries is filled. The operation of the DTLB is completely transparent to the user.
3.17 Cache Memory
The RM5231A incorporates on-chip instruction and data caches that can be accessed in a single processor cycle. Each cache has its own 64-bit data path and both caches can be accessed simultaneously. The cache subsystem provides the integer and floating-point units with an aggregate bandwidth of over 3 GB per second at an internal clock frequency of 200 MHz.
3.18 Instruction Cache
The RM5231A incorporates a two-way set associative on-chip instruction cache. This virtually indexed, physically tagged cache is 32 KB in size and is protected with word parity.
Proprietary and Confidential to PMC-Sierra, Inc and for its Customer's Internal Use Document ID: PMC-2002174, Issue 2
19
RM5231ATM Microprocessor with 32-Bit System Bus Data Sheet Preliminary
Since the cache is virtually indexed, the virtual-to-physical address translation occurs in parallel with the cache access, further increasing performance by allowing these two operations to occur simultaneously. The cache tag contains a 24-bit physical address, a valid bit, and has a single parity bit. The instruction cache is 64-bits wide and can be accessed each processor cycle. Accessing 64 bits per cycle allows the instruction cache to supply two instructions per cycle to the superscalar dispatch unit. For typical code sequences where a floating-point load or store and a floating-point computation instruction are being issued together in a loop, the entire bandwidth available from the instruction cache is consumed. Cache miss refill writes 64 bits per cycle to minimize the cache miss penalty. The line size is eight instructions (32 bytes) to maximize the performance of communication between the processor and the memory system. The RM5231A supports instruction cache locking. The contents of one set of the cache, set A, can be locked by setting a bit in the coprocessor 0 Status register. Locking the set prevents its contents from being overwritten by a subsequent cache miss. A refill occurs only into set B. This mechanism allows the programmer to lock critical code into the cache thereby guaranteeing deterministic behavior for the locked code sequence.
3.19 Data Cache
For fast, single cycle data access, the RM5231A includes a 32KB on-chip data cache that is twoway set associative with a fixed 32-byte (eight words) line size. The data cache is protected with byte parity and its tag is protected with a single parity bit. It is virtually indexed and physically tagged to allow simultaneous address translation and data cache access. Cache protocols supported for the data cache are: 1. Uncached Data loads and instruction fetches from uncached memory space are brought in from main memory to the register file and the execution unit, respectfully. The caches are not accessed. Data stores to uncached memory space go directly to the main memory without updating the data cache. 2. Write-back Loads and instruction fetches first search the cache, reading main memory only if the desired data is not cache resident. On data store operations, the cache is first searched to determine if the target address is cache resident. If it is resident, the cache contents are updated, and the cache line is marked for later write-back. If the cache lookup misses, the target cache line is first brought into the cache and then the write is performed as above. 3. Write-through with write allocate Loads and instruction fetches first search the cache, reading main memory only if the desired data is not cache resident. On data store operations, the cache is first searched to determine if the target address is cache resident. If it is resident, the cache contents are updated and main

memory is written, leaving the write-back bit of the cache line unchanged. If the cache lookup misses, the target line is first brought into the cache and then the write is performed as above. 4. Write-through without write allocate Loads and instruction fetches first search the cache, reading main memory only if the desired data is not cache resident. On data store operations, the cache is first searched to determine if the target address is cache resident. If it is resident, the cache contents are updated and main memory is written, leaving the write-back bit of the cache line unchanged. If the cache lookup misses, then only main memory is written. The most commonly used write policy is write-back, where a store to a cache line does not immediately cause main memory to be updated. This increases system performance by reducing bus traffic and eliminating the bottleneck of waiting for each store operation to finish before issuing a subsequent memory operation. Software can, however, select write-through on a perpage basis when appropriate, such as for frame buffers. Associated with the data cache is the store buffer. When the RM5231A executes a store instruction, this single-entry buffer gets written with the store data while the tag comparison is performed. If the tag matches, then the data is written into the data cache in the next cycle that the data cache is not accessed (the next non-load cycle). The store buffer allows the RM5231A to execute a store every processor cycle and to perform back-to-back stores without penalty. In the event of a store immediately followed by a load to the same address, a combined merge and cache write occurs such that no penalty is incurred. The RM5231A cache attributes for both the instruction and data caches are summarized in Table 3.

Writes to external memory, whether cache miss write-backs or stores to uncached or write-through addresses, use the on-chip write buffer. The write buffer holds up to four 64-bit address and data pairs. The entire buffer is used for a data cache write-back and allows the processor to proceed in parallel with the memory update. For uncached and write-through stores, the write buffer

significantly increases performance by decoupling the SysAD bus transfers from the instruction execution stream.
3.21 System Interface
The system interface consists of a 32-bit Address/Data bus with 4 parity check bits and a 9-bit command bus. In addition, there are 6 handshake signals and 6 interrupt inputs. The interface is capable of transferring data between the processor and memory at a peak rate of 400 MB/sec with a 100 MHz SysClock. Figure 6 shows a typical embedded system using the RM5231A. In this example, a bank of DRAMs and a memory controller ASIC share the processor's SysAD bus while the memory controller provides separate ports to a boot ROM and an I/O system.

3.22 System Address/Data Bus
The 32-bit System Address Data (SysAD) bus is used to transfer addresses and data between the RM5231A and the rest of the system. It is protected with a 4-bit parity check bus (SysADC). The system interface is configurable to allow easy interfacing to memory and I/O systems of varying frequencies. The Block Write data rate, Non-blocking Write protocol, and the Output Drive strength are programmable at Boot time via the Mode Control bits. The rate at which the processor receives data is also fully controlled by the external device.
3.23 System Command Bus
The RM5231A interface has a 9-bit System Command (SysCmd) bus. The command bus indicates whether the SysAD bus carries address or data information on a per- clock basis. If the SysAD carries address, then the SysCmd bus also indicates what type of transaction is to take place (for example, a read or write). If the SysAD carries data, then the SysCmd bus also gives information about the data (for example, this is the last data word transmitted, or the data contains an error). The SysCmd bus is bidirectional to support both processor requests and external requests to the RM5231A. Processor requests are initiated by the RM5231A and responded to by an external device. External requests are issued by an external device and require the RM5231A to respond.
Proprietary and Confidential to PMC-Sierra, Inc and for its Customer's Internal Use Document ID: PMC-2002174, Issue 2 22
RM5231ATM Microprocessor with 32-Bit System Bus Data Sheet Preliminary
The RM5231A supports one- to four-byte transfers as well as block transfers on the SysAD bus. In the case of a sub-word transfer, the two low-order address bits give the byte address of the transfer, and the SysCmd bus indicates the number of bytes being transferred.
3.24 Handshake Signals
There are six handshake signals on the system interface. Two of these, RdRdy* and WrRdy*, are used by an external device to indicate to the RM5231A whether it can accept a new read or write transaction. The RM5231A samples these signals before deasserting the address on read and write requests. ExtRqst* and Release* are used to transfer control of the SysAD and SysCmd buses from the processor to an external device. When an external device needs to control the interface, it asserts ExtRqst*. The RM5231A responds by asserting Release* to release the system interface to slave state. ValidOut* and ValidIn* are used by the RM5231A and the external device respectively to indicate that there is a valid address, a command, or data on the SysAD and SysCmd buses. The RM5231A asserts ValidOut* when it is driving these buses with a valid address, a command or data, and the external agent drives ValidIn* when it has control of the buses and is driving a valid address, a command, or data.
3.25 Non-overlapping System Interface
The RM5231A requires a non-overlapping system interface. This means that only one processor request may be outstanding at a time and that the request must be serviced by an external device before the RM5231A issues another request. The RM5231A can issue read and write requests to an external device, whereas an external device can issue null and write requests to the RM5231A. For processor reads the RM5231A asserts ValidOut* and simultaneously drives the address and read command on the SysAD and SysCmd buses respectively. If the system interface has RdRdy* asserted, then the processor tristates its drivers and releases the system interface to the slave state by asserting Release*. The external device can then begin sending data to the RM5231A. Figure 7 shows a processor block read request and the external agent read response. The read latency is four cycles (ValidOut* to ValidIn*), and the response data pattern is "WWWWWWWW", indicating that data can be transferred on every clock with no wait states inbetween. Figure 8 shows a processor block write using write response pattern "WWWWWWWW", or code 0, of the boot time mode select options.

3.26 Enhanced Write Modes
The RM5231A implements two enhancements to the original R4000 write mechanism: Write Reissue and Pipeline Writes. The original R4000 allowed a write address cycle on the SysAD bus only once every four SysClock cycles. Hence for a non-block write, this meant that two out of every four cycles were wait states. Pipelined write mode eliminates these two wait states by allowing the processor to drive a new write address onto the bus immediately after the previous write data cycle. This allows for higher SysAD bus utilization. However, at high bus frequencies the processor may drive a subsequent write onto the bus prior to the time the external agent deasserts WrRdy*, indicating that it can not accept another write cycle. This can cause the write cycle to be missed. Write reissue mode is an enhancement to pipelined write mode and allows the processor to reissue missed write cycles. If WrRdy* is deasserted during the issue phase of a write operation, the cycle is aborted by the processor and reissued at a later time.
Proprietary and Confidential to PMC-Sierra, Inc and for its Customer's Internal Use Document ID: PMC-2002174, Issue 2
24
RM5231ATM Microprocessor with 32-Bit System Bus Data Sheet Preliminary
In write reissue mode, a write rate of one write every two bus cycles can be achieved. Pipelined writes have the same two bus cycle write repeat rate, but can issue one additional write following the deassertion of WrRdy*.
3.27 External Requests
The External Request pin, ExtRqst*, is asserted by the external agent when it requires mastership of the system interface, either to perform an independent transfer or to write to the interrupt register within the RM5231A. An independent transfer is a data transfer between two external agents or between an external agent and memory or peripheral on the system interface. Following the asserting of the ExtRqst*, the RM5231A tri-states its drivers allowing the external agent to use the system interface buses to complete an independent transfer. The external agent is responsible for returning mastership of the system interface to the RM5231A when it has completed the independent transfer and does so by executing an External Null cycle.
3.28 Interrupt Handling
The RM5231A supports a dedicated interrupt vector for real time interrupt handling. When enabled by the real time executive by setting a bit in the Cause register, interrupts vector to a specific address which is not shared with any of the other exception types. This capability eliminates the need to go through the normal software routine for exception decode and dispatch, thereby lowering interrupt latency.
3.29 Standby Mode
The RM5231A provides a means to reduce the amount of power consumed by the internal core when the CPU is not performing any useful operations. This state is known as Standby Mode. Executing the WAIT instruction enables interrupts causes the processor to enter Standby Mode. When the WAIT instruction completes the W pipe stage, and if the SysAD bus is currently idle, the internal processor clocks stop, thereby freezing the pipeline. The phase lock loop, or PLL, internal timer/counter, and the "wake up" input pins: Int[5:0]*, NMI*, ExtReq*, Reset*, and ColdReset* continue to operate in their normal fashion. If the SysAD bus is not idle when the WAIT instruction completes the W pipe-stage, then the WAIT is treated as a NOP until the bus operation is completed. Once the processor is in Standby, any interrupt, including the internally generated timer interrupt, causes the processor to exit Standby and resume operation where it left off. The WAIT instruction is typically inserted in the idle loop of the operating system or real time executive.
3.30 JTAG Interface
The RM5231A interface supports JTAG Test Access Port (TAP) boundary scan in conformance with the IEEE 1149.1 specification. The JTAG interface is especially helpful for checking the integrity of the processors pin connections.
3.31 Boot-Time Options
Fundamental operational modes for the processor are initialized by the boot-time mode control interface. This serial interface operates at a very low frequency (SysClock divided by 256). The low frequency operation allows the initialization information to be kept in a low cost EPROM or a system interface ASIC.
Proprietary and Confidential to PMC-Sierra, Inc and for its Customer's Internal Use Document ID: PMC-2002174, Issue 2 25
RM5231ATM Microprocessor with 32-Bit System Bus Data Sheet Preliminary
Immediately after the VccOK signal is asserted, the processor reads a serial bit stream of 256 bits to initialize all the fundamental operational modes. ModeClock runs continuously from the assertion of VccOK.
3.32 Boot-Time Modes
The boot-time serial mode stream is defined in Table 4. Bit 0 is the bit presented to the processor as the first bit in the stream when VccOK is asserted. Bit 255 is the last bit transferred.
