Overview:	The PMC/C42 provides two on-board TMS320C44 processors on a single size IEEE1386.1 compliant PMC module. Each processor has two banks of 0ws SRAM provided on its local and global buses and these may be used for either program or data storage. Additionally the global bus has buffered access onto the PMC/C42's shared bus. This shared bus is then connected to a PCI bridge to provide the PCI connection to the host carrier board. This forms the primary mechanism for host to PMC/C42 data transfer. The shared bus of the PMC/C42 is controlled by an on-board arbiter and this grants access to the various resources on the bus on a round-robin basis. As an additional feature any resource that can master the shared bus, i.e. a C44 or the host, can read or write directly into either of the C44 processors global memory directly. This creates a pseudo shared memory style architecture for the C44's global memories. The PMC/C42 is support includes a vast range of software packages operating under Windows NT or 95. Development tools include host communication libraries for data passing between the PC and the DSP card, code download, C and assembler level debuggers and a C compiler.
