This chapter provides information on 21264/EV68A-specific microprocessor system
initialization and configuration. It is organized as follows:
•
Power-up reset flow
•
Fault reset flow
•
Energy star certification and sleep mode flow
•
Warm reset flow
•
Array initialization
•
Initialization mode processing
•
External interface initialization
•
Internal processor register (IPR) reset state
•
IEEE 1149.1 test port reset
•
Reset state machine state transitions
•
Phase-locked loop (PLL) functional description
Initialization is controlled by the reset state machine, which is responsible for four
major operations. Table 7–1 describes the four major operations.

Operation
Function
Ramp up
Sequence the PLL input and output dividers (X
GCLK frequency and generate time intervals for the PLL to re-establish lock.
BiST/SROM
Receive a synchronous transfer on the ClkFwdRst_H pin in order to start built-in self-test and
SROM load at a predictable GCLK cycle.
Clock forward
Receive a synchronous transfer on the ClkFwdRst_H pin in order to initialize the clock for-
interface
warding interface.
Ramp down
Sequence the PLL input and output dividers (X
GCLK frequency during sleep mode.
7.1 Power-Up Reset Flow and the Reset_L and DCOK_H Pins
The 21264/EV68A reset sequence is triggered using the two input signals Reset_L and
DCOK_H in a sequence that is described in Section 7.1.1. After Reset_L is deasserted,
the following sequence of operations takes place:
