External Device
Device itself with all necessary internal logic
to do the things it needs to do

such as interrupt signals, etc

Issues with external devices
Many pins Mechanical failure rates increased Design time increased – routing issues Cost increased, board size increased
Continually redesigning same thing Compatibility between parts Upgrade part Many similar options between different projects
In Real-life -- Don’t need “100% flexibility”

Microcontroller – put a limited amount of most commonly used resources “inside” the chip – a “limited” amount of resources is often “enough” for many applications

Advantages of microCONTROLLER over microPROCESSOR Pin count down Reliability up Design time down, Board layout size down Upgrade path easier – matching between
peripherals for speed Cost down – bulk purchases Common software / hardware design
environment available from manufacturer

M. Smith, University of Calgary, Canada 11/ 29
Issues when using any microcontroller Two types of memory
Difference in speed (read and write times) when using ON-CHIP – fast, easy to access, “almost as fast as using a
register”, limited amount of on-chip memory available OFF-CHIP– slower to access – additional cost Use on-chip memory in a “CACHE” mode (copy off-chip data to
on-chip when processing data, then copy back) External components still there
E.g. Video CODECs – need to use DMA – Direct Memory Access – so that the controller can get on with the “processing” and let something else worry about moving data in and out of the chip
Real time environment Event driven – can’t WAIT for a device to become ready, can’t
POLL to see if device is ready, interrupt handling is key All these resources are “power hungry” and compete for
resources (data busses etc) – special features to control power use

Components of the Blackfin BoardFrom smallest to largest Processor Core
One core on Blackfin ADSP-BF533 processor Two cores on Blackfin ADSP-BF561 processor Might go to latest 2-core BF609 if money becomes
available Processor itself
core + some memory + some other built incapability Blackfin Evaluation board
Don’t forget the software development package VisualDSP++ and new CCES

Some key discussed elements from the previous slide that might appear in quizzes Processor has 2 buses that can carry data. Why did
the processor designers allow 2 loads to occur from memory at the same time, a load and store at the same time, but NOT two stores at the same time?
Why would the processor designers place 8-bit ALUs operations available on a processor that has 32-bit registers?
Give an example of an instruction where four 8-bit ALU operations occur at the same time
Give an example of an instruction where two 16-bit ALU operations occur at the same time

Enter the key elements from previous slide
Will you learn to “flash” memory in this class, and how would you do it and why?
What does a watch-dog timer do – and “how do you find out how to feed it?”
What does the acronym MMU stand for? What does the acronym SPI stand for, and in
what labs will we be using the SPI? When is the PPI used? What’s a real time clock?

Lab. 1 – You will demonstrate the basic microcontroller capability Use the microcontroller Learn to configure the FLASH memory
Contains memory and also I/O components (input / output)
Use the FLASH memory I/O capability to control the LED
Configure the PF I/O lines (Programmable Flags) Used to control many of the external devices (chip select
and timing lines) Used as input (Lab. 2) and / or interrupt lines (Lab. 3)

Push-button switches (PF lines)LED (controlled by FLASH memory logic)
13 September 2006Differences between a microprocessor and a microcontroller
M. Smith, University of Calgary, Canada 20/ 29
Need to learn how to “configure” the flash memory so thatWe can control the LEDs
If we can control the LED’s then we have signals thatcould be used for a “radio-controlled” car
Parallel interfacespresent on the FLASH memory chips

Configure the PF lines (Programmable Flags – Input and output pins)
Replace one button input with the input of a temperature transducer and you have designed a “Software controlled thermometer”
TMP03 will be used in Laboratory 2

Registers to control PF lines. How / why?FIO_FLAG_D – Data registerFIO_EDGE -- Edge registerFIO_DIR -- Direction registerFIO_POLAR -- Polarity register
13 September 2006Differences between a microprocessor and a microcontroller
M. Smith, University of Calgary, Canada 23/ 29
KEY EMBEDDED IDEA --PF lines being used already to control other devices – “We are not alone!!” When we change the
PF registers bits, we must ONLY change those over which we have control
PF8, PF9, PF10, PF11
Must learn the instructions to safely change some register bits and not others (AND and OR instructions)
FIO_FLAG_D register has 16 I/O pins(Flag pins) available

Enter the key elements from previous slide
Which A/D is used on the Blackfin board? Why are the signals that control the LED’s
coming from the FLASH? What does SPORT1 means, and what
external device is being controlled by it? How does the SPORT device allow “time
sharing” of the bus by several different external devices?

Review Quiz
How come the FLASH memory must be used to control the LEDs and not the GPIO register pins (general purpose I/O)?
Why can’t we use PF0 line in Lab. 2 to read temperature transducer input signals?
Why will AND and OR operations be necessary when we control the PF I/O lines?
What does PF stand for?
