8.8 Interface to Command and Push and Pull Buses
Figure 100 shows the interface of the MSF to the command and push and pull buses. Data transfers
to and from the TBUF/RBUF are done in the following cases (refer to section):
• RBUF or MSF CSR to Microengine S_TRANSFER_IN Register for Instruction:
• Microengine S_TRANSFER_OUT Register to TBUF or MSF CSR for Instruction:
• Microengine to MSF CSR for Instruction:
• From RBUF to DRAM for Instruction:
• From RBUF to DRAM for Instruction:
