Local Memory Bus (LMB) Interface Description
R
Read and Write Data Steering
The MicroBlaze data-side bus interface performs the read steering and write steering
required to support the following transfers:
• byte, halfword, and word transfers to word devices
• byte and halfword transfers to halfword devices
• byte transfers to byte devices
MicroBlaze does not support transfers that are larger than the addressed device. These
typesof transfers requiredynamic bussizing andconversion cycles thatarenot supported
by the MicroBlaze bus interface. Data steering for read cycles is shown in Table 2-4, and
data steering for write cycles is shown in Table 2-5
Note that other OPB masters may have more restrictive requirements for byte lane
placement than those allowed by MicroBlaze. OPB slave devices are typically attached
“left-justified” with byte devices attached to the most-significant byte lane, and halfword
devices attachedto themost significanthalfword lane. The MicroBlaze steering logic fully
supports this attachment method.
