16.3 Memory map and register definition
The BME module provides a memory-mapped capability and does not include any
programming model registers. The exact set of functions supported by the BME are
detailed in the
The peripheral address space occupies a 516 KB region: 512 KB based at 0x4000_0000
plus a 4 KB space based at 0x400F_F000 for GPIO accesses; the decorated address space
is mapped to the 448 MB region located at 0x4400_0000–0x5FFF_FFFF.
16.4 Functional description
This section details the specific functions supported by the BME.
Recall the combination of the basic load and store instructions of the Cortex-M
instruction set architecture (v6M, v7M) plus the concept of decorated storage provided by
the BME, the resulting implementation provides a robust and efficient read-modify-write
capability to this class of ultra low-end microcontrollers. The resulting architectural
capability defined by this core platform function is targeted at the manipulation of n-bit
fields in peripheral registers and is consistent with I/O hardware addressing in the
Embedded C standard. For most BME commands, a single core read or write bus cycle is
converted into an atomic read-modify-write, that is, an indivisible "read followed by a
write" bus sequence.
Consider decorated store operations first, then decorated loads.
16.4.1 BME decorated stores
The functions supported by the BME's decorated stores include three logical operators
(AND, OR, XOR) plus a bit field insert. For all these operations, BME converts a single
decorated AHB store transaction into a 2-cycle atomic read-modify-write sequence,
where the combined read-modify operation is performed in the first AHB data phase, and
then the write is performed in the second AHB data phase.
A generic timing diagram of a decorated store showing a bit field insert operation is
shown as follows:
