Latest revision as of 17:17, 3 February 2019

The DSPs in the APU are probably "Parthus MediaStream" DSP cores (probably the 24-bit DSP2420 "Mozart" core).

Those are similar to Motorola DSP56362 (DSP56300 Family). If so, the datasheet can be found at http://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/DSP56362.pdf (Also see "Documentation" section in said datasheet for the related documentation, like the family manual)

Memory Size

Program RAM Size X Data RAM Size Y Data RAM Size MIXBUF Size
GP 4096 x 24-bit 4096 x 24-bit 2048 x 24-bit 992[FIXME] x 24-bit
EP 4096 x 24-bit 3072 x 24-bit 256 x 24-bit n/a

MIXBUF is accessible at X:$001400 in the GP.

Other datasheets for similar DSPs suggest that the memory sizes might be different if instruction cache or switch mode are toggled. It is currently unknown if the DSPs in the Xbox APU support a similar feature[FIXME].

DMA

This section is very incomplete and not much was tested on hardware either

DMA is controlled using peripheral registers:

  • 0xFFFFD4: Memory address of next command block
  • 0xFFFFD5: DMA_START_BLOCK[FIXME]
  • 0xFFFFD6: DMA_CONTROL[FIXME]
  • 0xFFFFD7: DMA_CONFIGURATION[FIXME]

Additionally, bit 7 in the interrupt register at 0xFFFFC5 is set if a DMA End-Of-List has been encountered.

Command blocks

DSP command blocks are loaded from X-Memory.

Word Meaning Notes
0 Next command block address Memory address of next command block.

Bit 14 is used as End-Of-List marker.

1 Transfer control word Controls the DMA transfer:

DSP address interleave (Bit-offset 0; 1-bit):[FIXME]

  • 0 = Addressing using:
    for (sample_index = 0; sample_index < sample_count; sample_index++) {
  transfer_dsp_word(dsp_address + sample_index * dsp_step_size)
}
  • 1 = Addressing using:
    for (block_index = 0; block_index < block_count; block_index++) {
  for (channel_index = 0; channel_index < channel_count; channel_index++) {
    transfer_dsp_word(dsp_address + block_index + channel_index * dsp_step_size)
  }

Buffer offset writeback (Bit-offset 4; 1-bit): Only used for scratch buffers, behaves like 0 otherwise.[FIXME]

  • 0 = ?

DSP address step size (Bit-offset 14; 10-bits):

Used in DSP address calculation

2 Sample count Behaviour depends on interleave setting
  • Non-interleaved mode:
Sample count (Bit-offset 0; 24-bits):
The number of samples to be transferred
  • Interleaved mode:
Channel count (Bit-offset 0; 4-bits):
The number of channels minus 1. For 3 channels, this has to be 0x2.
Block count (Bit-offset 4; 20-bits):
The number of blocks to be transferred.
3 DSP address This is the address in the DSP:
  • 0x0000 - 0x17FF = X-Memory
  • 0x1800 - 0x27FF = Y-Memory
  • 0x2800 - 0x37FF = P-Memory
4 Buffer offset Only used for scratch buffers, ignored otherwise.[FIXME]

This is the offset within the buffer where the first sample is accessed.

If this is above or equal to the buffer end (buffer base + buffer size), then the write will behave like a non circular write.

5 Buffer base Only used for circular scratch buffer, ignored otherwise.[FIXME]

The start address of the buffer.

6 Buffer size Only used for circular scratch buffer, ignored otherwise.[FIXME]

Size of buffer minus 1. For a buffer with 0x1000 bytes, this has to be 0xFFF.

FIFO

[FIXME]

Each of the DSP has 4 output FIFOs, and 2 input FIFOs.

All FIFOs belonging to the same DSP share the memory view. The memory view is controlled in the DSPs FIFO Scatter-Gather entries.

Each FIFO has 3 address registers, which define a ringbuffer:

  • Base address: The address of the first byte in the FIFO.
  • End address: The address of the first byte that's no longer part of the FIFO (so this address is exclusive).
  • Current address: The absolute address of the next byte that will be written.

During a transfer, the current address is incremented. If the current address hits the end address during a transfer, the current address is moved to the base, where the transfer continues.

If the transfer length is greater than the FIFO length when using the output FIFO, the transfer will continue normally and overwrite previously transferred bytes. If the transfer length is greater than the FIFO length when using the input FIFO, the transfer will continue normally and read previously transferred bytes again.

If the current address is below the base address when starting a transfer, it is moved to the base address. If the current address is above or equal to the end address when starting a transfer, the DSP hangs[FIXME].
