5.1 Memory Architecture
Multichannel Synchronous Communications Controller (MUSYCC™)
The first four sets of pointers for each channel group, listed in Table 5-2,
Group Structure Memory Map, are pointer locations exclusive to shared memory.
MUSYCC does not keep these values internally although they are accessed
regularly during channel processing. The remaining locations have a
corresponding register within MUSYCC.
