Detailed Description

Introduction

The MPU performs memory protection checking for a CBA bus. It inputs a VBUSM or VBUSP bus, checks the address against the fixed and programmable regions to see if the access is allowed. If allowed the transfer is passed unmodified to the output VBUSM or VBUSP bus. If the transfer is illegal (fails the protection check) then the MPU does not pass the transfer to the output bus but rather services the transfer internally back to the input bus (to prevent a hang) returning the fault status to the requestor as well as generating an interrupt about the fault.
