AMBA APB

1)the APB uses massive memory-I/O accesses.what is that massive memory-I/O accesses?

  • Can you explain where you saw "massive memory I/O accesses" described so we can have some context for your question?

    The phrase doesn't appear in the APB protocol document as far as I can see, and I would suggest the opposite is true, that APB is NOT suitable for memory type accesses as it has limited support for narrow transfers (i.e. no SIZE signal), and as each access must take a minimum of 2 PCLK cycles it isn't exactly good for performance.
