User Guide

Introduction

The SmartFusion Microcontroller Subsystem (MSS) contains an ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller, a lowpower processor that features low gate count, low and predictable interrupt latency, and low-cost debug. It is intended for deeply embedded applications that require fast interrupt response features.
This document describes the ports that are available on the Cortex-M3 core in the SmartDesign MSS Configurator.
For more information about the specific implementation of the Cortex-M3 in the Actel SmartFusion device, please refer to the Actel SmartFusion Microcontroller Subsystem User’s Guide.

Configuration Options

There are no configuration options for the Cortex-M3 core in the SmartDesign MSS Configurator.

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 FCLK period.
SLEEP| Out| No| This 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|  This 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.

Note:
Non-PAD ports must be promoted manually to the top level from the MSS configurator canvas to be available as the next level of hierarchy.
