Revision as of 10:45, 27 December 2018

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

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)

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:
  • Unknown (Bit-offset 0; 1-bit).
    • 0 = ?
    • 1 = ?
