    Introduction
    The ARM® Cortex™-M3 offers configurable features as well as available signals at the FPGA fabric
    interface.
    The values entered in the configurator will be exported into the programming files for programming of the
    flash bits that control this functionality. The flash bits are loaded in the system registers at power up (or
    when the DEVRST_N external pad is asserted/de-asserted).
    For complete details about the ARM® Cortex-M3 feature set offered in the SmartFusion2 devices please
    refer to the Microsemi SmartFusion2 User's Guide.

    1 – Configuration Options

    Memory Protection Options


    Use Memory Protection Unit - Select this option to enable the MPU block (Figure 1-1).

    Figure 1-1 • MPU Configuration

    Sys Tick Timer


    Calibration Register - The calibration register - STCALIB - is a 26-bit register that determines the
    rollover value for the internal SysTick timer to the Cortex-M3 microcontroller.
    STCLK - Configure the STCLK frequency as a division (4, 8, 16 or 32) of M3_CLK. This must be
    configured so that STCLK is less than half the frequency of M3_CLK. The division factor is loaded into
    the STCLK_DIVISOR register (Figure 1-2).

    Figure 1-2 • Sys Tick Timer

    Events
    You can expose the Cortex-M3 RXEV and TXEV signals at the FPGA fabric (Figure 1-3).

    Figure 1-3 • RXEV and TXEV FPGA Fabric Interface Configuration

    4
    System Power Management
    The Cortex-M3 provides various power modes. M3_CLK is gated off when in SLEEPING or
    SLEEPDEEP mode. SLEEPING and SLEEPDEEP signals are available at the FPGA fabric interface.
    Sleep mode extension handshake signals are available at the FPGA fabric interface. Use the System
    Power Management options to expose these signals to the FPGA fabric (Figure 1-4).

    Figure 1-4 • System Power Management FPGA Fabric Interface Configuration

    Trace Port Interface Unit (TPIU)


    The TPIU signals TRACECLK and TRACEDATA[3:0] signals can be exposed to the FPGA fabric
    (Figure 1-5). You can also select whether the TRACECLK is M3_CLK/2 (check box off) or M3_CLK/4
    (check box on).

    2 – Port Description

    Table 2-1 • Port Description


    Port Name Direction PAD ? Description
    RXEV In No Causes the Cortex-M3 to wake up from a WFE (wait for event)
    instruction. The event input, RXEV, is registered even when not
    waiting for an event, and so affects the next WFE.
    TXEV Out No Event transmitted as a result of a Cortex-M3 SEV (send event)
    instruction. This is a single-cycle pulse equal to 1 M3_CLK
    period.
    SLEEP Out No Signal is asserted when the Cortex-M3 is in sleep now or sleep-
    on-exit mode, and indicates that the clock to the processor can
    be stopped.
    DEEPSLEEP Out No Signal is asserted when the Cortex-M3 is in sleep now or sleep-
    on-exit mode when the SLEEPDEEP bit of the System Control
    Register is set.
    SLEEPHOLD* TBD
    TRACECLK Out No TBD
    TRACEDATA[3:0] Out No TBD
