Microprocessor with 32-bit System Bus Data Sheet
Released
low frequency operation allows the initialization information to be kept in a low cost EPROM or a
system interface ASIC.
Immediately after the
VccOK
signal is asserted, the processor reads a serial bit stream of 256 bits
to initialize all the fundamental operational modes. ModeClock run continuously from the
assertion of
VccOK
.
3.32 Boot-Time Modes
The boot-time serial mode stream is defined in Table 4. Bit 0 is the bit presented to the processor
as the first bit in the stream when
VccOK
is asserted. Bit 255 is the last bit transferred.
