Dual CPU memory and Peripheral accessibility.

Part Number: TMS320F28377D


Hi,

The technical reference manual of the TMS320F28377D says as follows with respect to the memory on the processor

Flash:

Dedicated flash bank in the CPU1 subsystem (refer to the device data manual for the size of flash
bank)
• Dedicated flash bank in the CPU2 subsystem (refer to the device data manual for the size of flash
bank)

RAM:

For these devices, the RAMs have different characteristics. Some are:

• dedicated to each CPU (M0, M1, and Dx RAMs),
• shared between the CPU and its own CLA (LSx RAM),
• shared between the CPU and DMA of both subsystems (GSx RAM), and
• used to send and receive messages between processors (MSGRAM).

Does dedicated mean. there are two separate memories physically present inside the chip or one memory chip managed by software ? Secondly, how much are the two CPU memories and other function such as PLL, watchdog etc are independent in physical means?

Regards

Sundar
