16.8 Multi-Processor Support

The DSU can support 2 CPU cores, referred to as CPU0, CPU1. Each CPU connects a different bus system. The DAP implements one MEMory Access Port (MEM-AP) per CPU and allows debug tools to access each CPU’s bus system. Debug tools must select the correct MEM-AP at the debug port level depending on the targeted bus system.

  • MEM-AP0 is disabled (by decreasing order of priority) when:
    • CPU0.DAL = 0 and no cold-plugging detected.

Once enabled, MEM-AP0 always has access to the DSU external space to enable communications between the device and external tools.

  • MEM-AP1 is disabled when:
    • When STATUSB.DBGPRES = 0
    • when their respective DAL.CPU1 level is not equal to 2.
