The C66x Core Pac memory protection architecture introduces in the DSP a combination of DSP privilege levels and a memory system permission structure. This provides several benefits to the system, as follows:
The DSP C66x CorePac MP events are exported outside the DSP C66x CorePac in DSP subsystem, and can be enabled to trigger the ERRINT_IRQ aggregated interrupt output. See also corresponding memory protection fault events listed in the Table 5-5.
The memory protection exception events are not exported outside DSP subsystem. However they are merged (OR-ed) along with other error event sources within the DSP subsystem to produce a single ERRINT_IRQ interrupt exported outside the DSP subsystem.
For more details on ERRINT_IRQ generation and associated event registers at DSP_SYSTEM level, refer to the Section 5.3.4.2.2.
IDMA, DMA or System initiators should not issue read/write requests to regions of DSP L1P, L1D, or L2 memory configured as cache. In such cases the corresponding MPPA register should be set to 0x0 to disallow external read/write accesses.
Refer to the section Memory Protection in the TMS320C66x DSP CorePac User Guide, ( SPRUGW0C) for detailed descriptions of the DSP C66x CorePac components power-down control.
