<h1>1. Overview</h1>
This chapter aims to give a comprehensive description of all openMSP430
core interfaces in order to facilitate its integration within an ASIC
or FPGA.<br><br>The
following diagram shows an overview of the openMSP430 core connectivity
in an FPGA system (i.e. all ASIC specific pins are left unused):<br><br>

connected to a clock running at least two time slower as DCO_CLK
(typically 32kHz). It can be connected to 0 or 1 otherwise.<br>
 
In an ASIC, if ACLK or SMCLK are used and if the clock muxes are
included, then this port can be connected to any kind of clock source
(it doesn't need to be low-frequency. The name was just

<a name="4. Program Memory"></a>
<div style="text-align: right;"><a href="#TOC">Top</a></div>
<h1>4. Program Memory</h1>
 
Depending on the project needs, the program memory can be either implemented as a ROM or RAM.<br>
<br>
If a ROM is selected then the <i>PMEM_DIN</i> and <i>PMEM_WEN</i>
ports won't be connected. In that case, the software debug capabilities
are limited because the serial debug interface can only use hardware
breakpoints in order to stop the program execution. In addition,
updating the software will require a reprogramming of the FPGA... or a new ROM mask for an ASIC.<br>
<br>
If the program memory is a RAM, the developer gets full flexibility
regarding software debugging. The serial debug interface can be used to
update the program memory and software breakpoints can be used.<br>
<br><br>
That said, the protocol between the openMSP430 and the program memory is quite standard. Signal description goes as following:
<ul>
	<li><b><font color="#00b000">PMEM_CEN</font></b>: when this signal is active, the read/write access will be executed with the next <i>MCLK</i> rising edge. Note that this signal is LOW ACTIVE.
	     <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#00b000">PMEM_ADDR</font></b>: Memory address of the 16 bit word which is going to be accessed.<br>
	    <b>Note:</b> in order to calculate the core logical address from the program memory physical address, the formula goes as following: <i>LOGICAL@=2*PHYSICAL@+0x10000-PMEM_SIZE</i>
	     <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#0000b0">PMEM_DOUT</font></b>: the memory output word will be updated with every valid read/write access (i.e. <i>PMEM_DOUT</i> is not updated if <i>PMEM_CEN</i>=1).
	     <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#00b000">PMEM_WEN</font></b>:
this signal selects which byte should be written during a valid access.
PMEM_WEN[0] will activate a write on the lower byte, PMEM_WEN[1] a
write on the upper byte. Note that these signals are LOW ACTIVE. <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#00b000">PMEM_DIN</font></b>: the memory input word will be written with the valid write access according to the <i>PMEM_WEN</i> value.
	     <br><br>
	</li>
</ul>
The following waveform illustrates some read accesses of the program
memory (write access are illustrated in the data memory section):<br><br>

<div style="text-align: right;"><a href="#TOC">Top</a></div>
<h1>5. Data Memory</h1>
 
The data memory is always implemented as a RAM.<br>
<br>
The protocol between the openMSP430 and the data memory is the same as
the one of the program memory. Therefore, the signal description is the
same:
<ul>
	<li><b><font color="#00b000">DMEM_CEN</font></b>: when this signal is active, the read/write access will be executed with the next <i>MCLK</i> rising edge. Note that this signal is LOW ACTIVE.

	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#00b000">DMEM_ADDR</font></b>: Memory address of the 16 bit word which is going to be accessed.<br>
	    <b>Note:</b> in order to calculate the core logical address from the data memory physical address, the formula goes as following: <i>LOGICAL@=2*PHYSICAL@+0x200</i>
	     <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#0000b0">DMEM_DOUT</font></b>: the memory output word will be updated with every valid read/write access (i.e. <i>DMEM_DOUT</i> is not updated if <i>DMEM_CEN</i>=1).
	     <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#00b000">DMEM_WEN</font></b>:
this signal selects which byte should be written during a valid access.
DMEM_WEN[0] will activate a write on the lower byte, DMEM_WEN[1] a
write on the upper byte. Note that these signals are LOW ACTIVE. <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#00b000">DMEM_DIN</font></b>: the memory input word will be written with the valid write access according to the <i>DMEM_WEN</i> value.

</ul>

<a name="6. Peripherals"></a>	
<div style="text-align: right;"><a href="#TOC">Top</a></div>
<h1>6. Peripherals</h1>
The protocol between the openMSP430 core and its peripherals is the
exactly same as the one with the data and program memories in regard
to write access and differs slightly for read access.<br>
<br>
On the connectivity side, the specificity is that the read data bus of
all peripherals should be ORed together before being connected to the
core, as showed in the diagram of the <a href="#1.%20Overview">Overview</a> section.<br>
From the logical point of view, during a read access, each peripheral
outputs the combinatorial value of its read mux and returns 0 if it
doesn't contain the addressed register. On the waveforms, this
translates by seeing the register value on <i>PER_DOUT</i> while <i>PER_EN</i> is valid and not one clock cycle afterward as it is the case with the program and data memories.<br>
In any case, it is recommended to use the templates provided with the core in order to develop your own custom peripherals.<br>
The signal description therefore goes as following:
<ul>
	<li><b><font color="#00b000">PER_EN</font></b>: when this signal is active, read access are executed during the current <i>MCLK</i> cycle while write access will be executed with the next <i>MCLK</i> rising edge. Note that this signal is HIGH ACTIVE.
	     <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#00b000">PER_ADDR</font></b>:
peripheral register address of the 16 bit word which is currently
accessed. It is to be noted that a 14 bit address will always be
provided from the openMSP430 to the peripheral in order to accommodate
the biggest possible PER_SIZE Verilog configuration option (i.e. 32kB
as opposed to 512B by default).<br>
	    <b>Note:</b> in order to calculate the core logical address from the peripheral register physical address, the formula goes as following: <i>LOGICAL@=2*PHYSICAL@</i>
	     <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#0000b0">PER_DOUT</font></b>: the peripheral output word will be updated with every valid read/write access, it will be set to 0 otherwise.
	     <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#00b000">PER_WE</font></b>:
this signal selects which byte should be written during a valid access.
PER_WE[0] will activate a write on the lower byte, PER_WE[1] a write on
the upper byte. Note that these signals are HIGH ACTIVE. <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#00b000">PER_DIN</font></b>: the peripheral input word will be written with the valid write access according to the <i>PER_WEN</i> value.
	     <br><br>
	</li>
</ul>

<a name="7. DMA Interface"></a>	
<div style="text-align: right;"><a href="#TOC">Top</a></div>
<h1>7. Direct Memory Access Interface</h1>
 
Before moving on, please note that further details about the DMA interface can
be found in its <a href="http://opencores.org/project,openmsp430,dma%20interface">dedicated section</a>.<br>
<br>
The protocol between the DMA interface master (DMA controller, bootloader, ...) and the openMSP430 core is similar
to the one followed between the openMSP430 and its data memory.
<br> However, it comes with a few additional features to support wait states, error response, priority and wakeup (for LPMx modes).<br>
<br>
The signal description goes as following:
<ul>
	<li><b><font color="#0000b0">DMA_EN</font></b>:
this signal enables a DMA transfer and can be released once the transfer is completed, as signaled by DMA_READY.
		<br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#0000b0">DMA_ADDR</font></b>:
Logical address of the 16bit word currently accessed by the interface. The address must stay valid until the transfer is completed, as signaled by DMA_READY.
<br><b>Note:</b> the integrated oMSP memory backbone module decode the specified <b>logical</b> DMA address and maps it accordingly to the <b>physical</b> address of the Program, Data or Peripheral memory. 
	     <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#00b000">DMA_DOUT</font></b>:
When performing a read acces, the DMA data output is valid during the MCLK cycle immediately following the end of the transfer, as signaled by DMA_READY.
	     <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#0000b0">DMA_WE</font></b>:
This signal, asserted together with DMA_EN, allows to selects which byte should be written during the transfer.
DMA_WE[0] activates a write on the lower byte, DMA_WE[1] a write on the upper byte.<br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#0000b0">DMA_DIN</font></b>:
When performing a write access, the DMA data input must stay valid until the transfer is completed, as signaled by DMA ready.
	     <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#0000b0">DMA_PRIORITY</font></b>:
When <b>SET</b>, the oMSP memory backbone gives highest priority to the DMA transfer and stops CPU execution.
<br>When <b>CLEARED</b>, the oMSP memory backbone gives highest priority to CPU execution and the DMA transfer is completed only when the CPU doesn't access the targeted ressource (pmem, dmem or peripheral).
<br><b>Note</b>: a DMA controller can control the DMA data rate without stalling the CPU by dynamically asserting/deasserting the DMA_PRIORITY port between transfers.
	     <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#00b000">DMA_READY</font></b>:
This port signals that the current DMA transfer is completed.
<br><b>Note</b>: DMA_READY is typically hold low when the CPU owns the interface of the target ressource.
	     <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#00b000">DMA_RESP</font></b>:
This port signals if the current transfer was successful (0) or if an error occured (1) and is valid together with DMA_READY.
<br><b>Note</b>: an error is typically signaled when an access is performed outside of any memory mapped area (for example between Program and Data memory).
	     <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#0000b0">DMA_WKUP</font></b>:
For ASIC implementations supporting the Low-Power-Modes, this port is used to asynchronously restore the clocks before performing a DMA transfer.
<br><b>Note</b>: it is possible to control which clocks are restored during a DMA wakeup using the <b>BCSTL1</b> register of the Basic Clock Module.	  
	     <br><br>
	</li>
</ul>

priorities of the openMSP430 are fixed in hardware accordingly to the

The signal description goes as following:
<ul>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#0000b0">NMI</font></b>: The <b>N</b>on-<b>M</b>askable <b>I</b>nterrupt has higher priority than other IRQs and is masked by the NMIIE bit instead of GIE.<br>
It is internally synchronized to the <i>MCLK</i>
domain and can therefore be connected to any asynchronous signal of the
chip (which could for example be a pin of the FPGA). If unused, this
signal should be connected to 0. <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#0000b0">IRQ</font></b>: The standard interrupts can be connected to any signal coming from the <i>MCLK</i> domain (typically a peripheral). Priorities can be chosen by selecting the proper bit of the <i>IRQ</i> bus as shown in the table above. Unused interrupts should be connected to 0.<br>
<b>Note</b>: <i>IRQ[10]</i> is internally connected to the Watchdog
interrupt. If this bit is also used by an external peripheral, they
will both share the same interrupt vector. <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#00b000">IRQ_ACC</font></b>:
Whenever an interrupt request is serviced, some peripheral
automatically clear their pending flag in hardware. In order to do so,
the <i>IRQ_ACC</i> bus can be used by using the bit matching the corresponding <i>IRQ</i> bit. An example of this is shown in the implementation of the TACCR0 Timer A interrupt.
	    <br><br>
	</li>
</ul>
The following waveform illustrates a TAIV interrupt issued by the Timer-A, which is connected to <i>IRQ[8]</i> :<br><br>

<h1>9. Serial Debug Interface</h1>
The serial debug interface module provides a two-wires communication
bus (UART or I2C) for remote debugging and an additional freeze signal which might be
useful for some peripherals (typically timers).<br>
<br>
<ul>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#0000b0">DBG_EN</font></b>: this signal
allows the user to enable or disable the serial debug interface without
interfering with the CPU execution. It is to be noted that when
disabled (i.e. DBG_EN=0), the debug interface is held into reset. <br><br>
	</li>
	<li>
	    <b><font color="#00b000">DBG_FREEZE</font></b>: this signal will be set whenever the debug interface stops the CPU (and if the <i>FRZ_BRK_EN</i> field of the <a href="http://www.opencores.org/project,openmsp430,serial%20debug%20interface#2.2.2%20CPU_CTL">CPU_CTL</a> debug register is set). As its name implies, the purpose of <i>DBG_FREEZE</i> is to freeze a peripheral whenever the CPU is stopped by the software debugger.<br>
For example, it is used by the Watchdog timer in order to stop its
free-running counter. This prevents the CPU from being reseted by the
watchdog every times the user stops the CPU during a debugging session.

<h2>9.1 UART Configuration</h2>

	<li>
	    <b><font color="#00b000">DBG_UART_TXD</font>&nbsp;/&nbsp;<font color="#0000b0">DBG_UART_RXD</font></b>: these signals are typically connected to an RS-232 transceiver and will allow a PC to communicate with the openMSP430 core.

I2C Device broadcast address of the oMSP core (between 8 and 119). In a
multi-core configuration all cores have the same broadcast address. <br><br>
