Glueless memory

I have read that Motorola colfire series of processors provides a
glueless memory interface. What exactly does this term mean. I tried
google search but i could not get a satisfying answer. Please help
Thank you

It means that you can interface the memory directly, without the 
requirement for interface logic ('glue logic').

Hi,

This feature is also available on the PowerPC processor
(ie: MPC 860).

This ship has two integrated UPM (user programmable machine)
to handle the signals (and timing) required by the memory
(FPM/EDO/SDRAM). 8 Chip-Select lines are also automaticaly
generated by the processor (16 registers are used to set
the start address and the page size).

When the processor is power-up, CS0 is activated 
(CS0 is usually ROM).

No external chipset = no glue !

Regards
Emmanuel.
