2.2 Multicore Shared Memory Controller (MSMC)

Note: Read section 8.1.2.11 MSMC Quality-of-Service of the TDA4VH TRM for more details.

The MSMC provides two classes of traffic: real-time (RT) and non-real-time (NRT). These two classes of traffic correspond to the real-time thread (2) and normal thread (0) within the North Bridge. The MSMC provides a dedicated buffering at each arbitration point that can only be consumed by RT traffic, so NRT traffic cannot completely starve out RT requests.

There is no software control over the MSMC QoS hardware. Interfaces which do not support QoS features denote all traffic as non-real-time.
