2.1 Overview

This section provides a brief overview of the IXP2800 Network Processor internal hardware. This section is intended as an overall hardware introduction to the network processor.

The major blocks are:

• Intel XScale

compliant) used to initialize and manage the network processor, and can be used for higher layer network processing tasks.

• Intel XScale

Purpose I/O (GPIO) and interface to low-speed off chip peripherals (such as maintenance port of network devices) and Flash ROM.

• Microengines (MEs) — Sixteen 32-bit programmable engines specialized for Network

Processing. Microengines do the main data plane processing per packet.

core — General purpose 32-bit RISC processor (ARM* Version 5 Architecture

technology Peripherals (XPI) — Interrupt Controller, Timers, UART, General

• DRAM Controllers — Three independent controllers for Rambus* DRAM. Typically DRAM

is used for data buffer storage.

• SRAM Controllers — Four independent controllers for QDR SRAM. Typically SRAM is used

for control information storage.

• Scratchpad Memory — 16 Kbytes storage for general purpose use.

• Hash Unit — Polynomial hash accelerator. The Intel XScale

core and Microengines can use

• Control and Status Register Access Proxy (CAP) — These provide special inter-processor

communication features to allow flexible and efficient inter-Microengine and Microengine to Intel XScale

core communication.

• Media and Switch Fabric Interface (MSF) — Interface for network framers and/or Switch

Fabric. Contains receive and transmit buffers.

• PCI Controller — PCI Local Bus Specification, Version 2.2* interface for 64-bit 66-MHz I/O. PCI can

be used to either connect to a Host processor, or to attach PCI-compliant peripheral devices.

• Performance Monitor — Counters that can be programmed to count selected internal chip

hardware events, which can be used to analyze and tune performance.

Hardware Reference Manual 29

Intel® IXP2800 Network Processor

Technical Description

2.2 Intel XScale® Core Microarchitecture

The Intel XScale® microarchitecture consists of a 32-bit general purpose RISC processor that incorporates an extensive list of architecture features that allows it to achieve high performance.

2.2.1 ARM* Compatibility

The Intel XScale® microarchitecture is ARM* Version 5 (V5) Architecture compliant. It implements the integer instruction set of ARM* V5, but does not provide hardware support of the floating point instructions.

The Intel XScale ARM V5E DSP extensions.

Backward compatibility with the first generation of StrongARM* products is maintained for usermode applications. Operating systems may require modifications to match the specific hardware features of the Intel XScale enhancements added to the Intel XScale

microarchitecture provides the Thumb instruction set (ARM V5T) and the

microarchitecture and to take advantage of the performance

core.

2.2.2 Features

2.2.2.1 Multiply/Accumulate (MAC)

The MAC unit supports early termination of multiplies/accumulates in two cycles and can sustain a throughput of a MAC operation every cycle. Several architectural enhancements were made to the MAC to support audio coding algorithms, which include a 40-bit accumulator and support for 16-bit packed values.

2.2.2.2 Memory Management

The Intel XScale® microarchitecture implements the Memory Management Unit (MMU) Architecture specified in the ARM Architecture Reference Manual. The MMU provides access protection and virtual to physical address translation.

The MMU Architecture also specifies the caching policies for the instruction cache and data memory. These policies are specified as page attributes and include:

• identifying code as cacheable or non-cacheable

• selecting between the mini-data cache or data cache

• write-back or write-through data caching

• enabling data write allocation policy

• and enabling the write buffer to coalesce stores to external memory

2.2.2.3 Instruction Cache

The Intel XScale® microarchitecture implements a 32-Kbyte, 32-way set associative instruction cache with a line size of 32 bytes. All requests that “miss” the instruction cache generate a 32-byte read request to external memory. A mechanism to lock critical code within the cache is also provided.
