Section 6: Microprocessor and Memory

Unit for Bluetooth

The Bluetooth microprocessor core is based on the ARM® Cortex-M3™ 32-bit RISC processor with embedded

ICE-RT debug and JTAG interface units. It runs software from the link control (LC) layer, up to the host controller

interface (HCI).

The ARM core is paired with a memory unit that contains 668 KB of ROM memory for program storage and boot

ROM, 200 KB of RAM for data scratchpad and patch RAM code. The internal ROM allows for flexibility during

power-on reset to enable the same device to be used in various configurations. At power-up, the lower-layer

protocol stack is executed from the internal ROM memory.

External patches may be applied to the ROM-based firmware to provide flexibility for bug fixes or features

additions. These patches may be downloaded from the host to the BCM4354 through the UART transports. The

mechanism for downloading via UART is identical to the proven interface of the BCM4330 device.

RAM, ROM, and Patch Memory

The BCM4354 Bluetooth core has 200 KB of internal RAM which is mapped between general purpose scratch

pad memory and patch memory and 668 KB of ROM used for the lower-layer protocol stack, test mode software,

and boot ROM. The patch memory capability enables the addition of code changes for purposes of feature

additions and bug fixes to the ROM memory.

Reset

The BCM4354 has an integrated power-on reset circuit that resets all circuits to a known power-on state. The

BT power-on reset (POR) circuit is out of reset after BT_REG_ON goes High. If BT_REG_ON is low, then the

POR circuit is held in reset.
