Chapter3 Transfers

1. Address phase One address and control cycle.
2. Data phase One or more cycles for the data.
3. HWRITE is HIGH, it indicates a write transfer and the Manager broadcasts data on the write data bus, HWDATA.
4. HWRITE is LOW, a read transfer is performed, and the Subordinate must generate the data on the read data bus, HRDATA.

 Chapter6 Data Buses

HWDATA

The Manager drives the write data bus during write transfers. If the transfer is extended, then the Manager must hold the data valid until the transfer completes, as indicated by HREADY HIGH. See Clock on page 7-72 for details on holding signals valid across multiple cycles.
For transfers that are narrower than the width of the bus, for example a 16-bit transfer on a 32-bit bus, the Manager only has to drive the appropriate byte lanes. The Subordinate selects the write data from the correct byte lanes. See Endianness on page 6-65 for details of the byte lanes that are active for a little-endian and big-endian system.

HRDATA

The appropriate Subordinate drives the read data bus during read transfers. If the Subordinate extends the read transfer by holding HREADY LOW, then the Subordinate only has to provide valid data in the final cycle of the transfer, as indicated by HREADY HIGH.
For transfers that are narrower than the width of the bus, the Subordinate is only required to provide valid data on the active byte lanes. The Manager selects the data from the correct byte lanes.
A Subordinate only has to provide valid data when a transfer completes with an OKAY response. ERROR responses do not require valid read data.
