II-4 BCU (Bus Control Unit)
The BCU (Bus Control Unit) provides an interface for external devices and on-chip user logic block. The types
and sizes of memory and peripheral I/O devices can be set for each area of the memory map and can be controlled
directly by the BCU. This unit also supports a direct interface for DRAM and burst ROM. This chapter describes
how to control the external and internal system interface, and how it operates.
Note: The control registers of the external system interface shown in this chapter are mapped to the
internal 16-bit I/O area. Therefore, the addresses of these control registers are indicated by half-
word (16-bit) addresses unless otherwise specified. Note that the control registers can be
accessed in bytes, half-words, or words.
