EP9315
Enhanced Universal Platform SOC Processor
Processor Core - ARM920T
The ARM920T is a Harvard architecture processor with
separate 16-kbyte instruction and data caches with an 8-
word line length but a unified memory. The processor
utilizes a five-stage pipeline consisting of fetch, decode,
execute, memory, and write stages. Key features include:
provide OEMs with a method of utilizing specific
hardware IDs such as those assigned for SDMI (Secure
Digital Music Initiative) or any other authentication
mechanism.
Both a specific 32-bit ID as well as a 128-bit random ID is
programmed into the EP9315 through the use of laser
probing technology. These IDs can then be used to
match secure copyrighted content with the ID of the
target device the EP9315 is powering, and then deliver
the copyrighted information over a secure connection. In
addition, secure transactions can benefit by also
matching device IDs to server IDs. MaverickKey IDs
provide a level of hardware security required for today’s
Internet appliances.

The EP9315 features a unified memory address model
where all memory devices are accessed over a common
address/data bus. A separate internal port is dedicated to
the read-only Raster/LCD refresh engine, while the rest
of the memory accesses are performed via the Processor
bus. The SRAM memory controller supports 8, 16 and
32-bit devices and accommodates an internal boot ROM
concurrently with 32-bit SDRAM memory.

is
considerably faster than the ARM920T's native MAC
instruction. The ARM920T coprocessor interface is
utilized thereby sharing its memory interface and
instruction stream. Hardware forwarding and interlock
allows the ARM to handle looping and addressing while
MaverickCrunch handles computation. Features include:
