Board Memory
In This Chapter
• Defining the various types of board memory
• Discussing memory management of on-board memory
• Discussing memory performance
Why Should Defining and Understanding the Board’s Memory Map Matter?
It is important for the reader to understand the differences in memory hardware in order to understand the implementation of overlying components, as well as how these components will behave on these various underlying technologies. For example, memory will impact the board’s performance when that memory has a lower bandwidth than the master CPU. So, in this case, it is important to understand memory timing parameters (performance indicators) such as memory access times and refresh cycle times. This chapter focuses ...
