  • Page 10: Board-Level Functions

    MPC837xE-RDS Board Board-Level Functions The board-level functions discussed in this section are reset, interrupts, clock distribution, and interface specification. 2.1.1 Reset and Reset Configurations The MPC837xE-RDS reset module generates a single reset to reset the MPC837xE and other peripherals on the board. The reset unit provides power-on reset, hard reset, and soft reset signals in compliance with the MPC837xE hardware specification.

  • Page 11: External Interrupts

    MPC837xE-RDS Board • The COP/JTAG port also generates the soft reset for the system. Assertion of SRESET causes the MPC837xE to abort all current internal and external transactions and set most registers to their default values. 2.1.2 External Interrupts Figure 3 shows the external interrupt circuitry to the MPC837xE.
