1.4 Memory Map

The C29x CPU has a dedicated stack pointer (SP = A15) that can access the full 32-bit address range of the CPU.

The C29x CPU supports separate program, data read, and data write buses. The memory is unified with one 4GB image. On the C29x CPU, every peripheral instance is mapped within a 4KB address range.

Block Protection: This feature protects the order of Read and Write operations to peripheral registers and avoids pipeline effects.
