5.9.1.3 CPU Timing Parameters
For information on the CPU interface Read and Write cycle AC timing parameters, refer to Figure
47 “CPU Interface Read Cycle AC Timing” on page 149, Figure 48 “CPU Interface Write Cycle
AC Timing” on page 149, and Table 54 “CPU Interface Write Cycle AC Signal Parameters” on
page 150.
5.9.2 Endian
The Endian of the CPU interface may be changed to allow connection of various CPUs to the
Intel
®
IXF1104 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Controller. The Endian selection is
determined by setting the Endian bit in the “CPU Interface ($0x508)".
The following describes Endianness control:
• There is a byte swapper between the internal 32-bit bus and the external 32-bit bus.
• In 8-bit or 16-bit mode operation, the byte packer/byte unpacker holding registers sink and
source data just like the 32-bit external bus in 32-bit mode.
• The “CPU Interface ($0x508)" selects Big-Endian or Little-Endian mode.
• The byte swapper causes the behavior seen in Table 37 for accessing a register with data bits
data[31:0].
