About bus interfaces
The processor contains four bus interfaces:
•
The ICode memory interface. Instruction fetches from Code memory space
(
0x0000000
-
0x1FFFFFFF)
are performed over this 32-bit
Advanced
High-performance Bus
(AHB)-Lite bus. For more information, see
ICode bus
interface
on page 12-4.
•
The DCode memory interface. Data and debug accesses to Code memory space
(
0x0000000
-
0x1FFFFFFF
) are performed over this 32-bit AHB-Lite bus. For more
information, see
DCode bus interface
on page 12-6.
•
The System interface. Instruction fetches, and data and debug accesses, to System
space (
0x20000000 - 0xDFFFFFFF
,
0xE0100000 - 0xFFFFFFFF
) are performed over
this 32-bit AHB-Lite bus. For more information, see
System interface
on
page 12-7.
•
The External
Private Peripheral Bus
(PPB). Data and debug accesses to External
PPB space (
0xE0040000 - 0xE00FFFFF
) are performed over this 32-bit
Advanced
Peripheral Bus
(APB) (AMBA v3.0) bus. The
Trace Port Interface Unit
(TPIU)
and vendor specific peripherals are on this bus. For more information, see
External private peripheral interface
on page 12-10.
Note
The processor contains an internal PPB for accesses to the
Nested Vectored Interrupt
Controller
(NVIC),
Data Watchpoint and Trace
(DWT),
Instrumentation Trace
Macrocell
(ITM),
Flash Patch and Breakpoint
(FPB), and
Memory Protection Unit
(MPU).
