Burst block memory read access

The steps to perform a burst block memory read access via the Nexus R/W access block

are:

Initialize RWA with the first address to be read using Nexus register index 0x9. The

address needs to be aligned on an 8-byte boundary. RWA[2:0] are ignored on a burst

read.

Initialize RWCS using Nexus register index 0x7.

- Access Control (AC) = 0b1 (to indicate start access)

- Map Select (MAP) = 0b000 (primary memory map)

- Access Priority (PR) = 0b00 (lowest priority)

- Read/Write (RW) = 0b0 (read access)

- Word Size (SZ) = 0b011 (64-bit)

- Access Count (CNT) = 0b00_0000_0000_0100 (four double-words)-

- Burst Control (BST) = 0b1 (burst enabled)

The Nexus block then arbitrates for the system bus and transfer the burst data from

memory to the burst data buffer starting at the address in RWA. When the access has

completed without error then RWCS[ERR] = 0 and RWCS[DV] = 1. See Table 8 for

details. This indicates that the device is ready for the next access. Nexus also asserts

the RDY pin when the transaction has completed without error. The external tool can

use this as an alternative to polling the RWCS status bits.

Read all 32 bytes of data from RWD using Nexus register index 0xA, 32-bits at a time,

starting with the first 32-bit word read from the address in RWA. The endianess of the

32-bit data read from RWD is little endian.

- Value of 0xDEADBEEF read from memory: RWD = 0xEFBEADDE
