A first level of address decoding is performed by the Bus Matrix, i.e., the implementation of the Advanced High
Performance Bus (AHB) for its master and slave interfaces with additional features.
Decoding breaks up the 4G bytes of address space into 16 banks of 256M bytes. The banks 1 to 9 are directed to
the EBI0 that associates these banks to the external chip selects EBI0_NCS0 to EBI0_NCS5 and EBI1_NCS0 to
EBI1_NCS2. The bank 0 is reserved for the addressing of the internal memories, and a second level of decoding
provides 1M bytes of internal memory area. Bank 15 is reserved for the peripherals and provides access to the
Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB).
Other areas are unused and performing an access within them provides an abort to the master requesting such an
access.
Each master has its own bus and its own decoder, thus allowing a different memory mapping for each master.
However, in order to simplify the mappings, all the masters have a similar address decoding.
Regarding Master 0 and Master 1 (ARM926 Instruction and Data), three different slaves are assigned to the
memory space decoded at address 0x0: one for internal boot, one for external boot and one after remap. Refer to
Table 7-1 “Internal Memory Mapping” for details.
A complete memory map is presented in Figure 7-1 on page 24.

7.1.1 Internal Memory Mapping
Table 7-1 summarizes the Internal Memory Mapping, depending on the Remap status and the BMS state at reset.
7.1.1.1 Internal 80 Kbyte Fast SRAM
The SAM9263 device embeds a high-speed 80 Kbyte SRAM. This internal SRAM is split into three areas. Its
memory mapping is presented in Figure 7-1 on page 24.
 Internal SRAM A is the ARM926EJ-S Instruction TCM. The user can map this SRAM block anywhere in the
ARM926 instruction memory space using CP15 instructions and the TCR configuration register located in
the Chip Configuration User Interface. This SRAM block is also accessible by the ARM926 Data Master and
by the AHB Masters through the AHB bus at address 0x0010 0000.
 Internal SRAM B is the ARM926EJ-S Data TCM. The user can map this SRAM block anywhere in the
ARM926 data memory space using CP15 instructions. This SRAM block is also accessible by the ARM926
Data Master and by the AHB Masters through the AHB bus at address 0x0020 0000.
 Internal SRAM C is only accessible by all the AHB Masters. After reset and until the Remap Command is
performed, this SRAM block is accessible through the AHB bus at address 0x0030 0000 by all the AHB
