Abstract

Method and apparatus for an interface to a system monitor (1600) is described. A controller (102) accessible via a port interface thereof (110) is configured for read/write access to configuration memory cells (1500) and for read access to status registers (1602). The configuration memory cells (1500) are addressable via a first address space, and the status registers (1602) are addressable via a second address space different from the first address space. The port interface (110) is configured to receive a plurality of signals including a data address signal (124) and a data clock signal (121). The data address signal (124) has address information for accessing either the first address space or the second address space.
