System Controller
The Marvell MV64460 is an integrated system controller with a PCI interface and communi-
cation ports for high performance embedded control applications. The MV64460 has a five
bus architecture:
• A 64-bit interface to the CPU bus
• A 64-bit interface to DDR SDRAM
• A 32-bit interface to devices
• Two 64-bit PCI/PCI-X interfaces, only PCI0 is used on the PmPPC7448
These interfaces are connected through a crossbar fabric, or central routing unit, which
enables simultaneous operation of the CPU bus, PCI device, and access to memory. The
crossbar fabric contains programmable arbitration mechanisms to optimize device perfor-
mance.
The MV64460 communications unit includes the following:
• Three Ethernet ports
• Two multi-protocol serial controllers (MPSC)
• Ten serial DMAs (SDMA)
• Two baud rate generators (BRG)
•I
