ET(e)-XCS User's Manual 2.3. Watchdog The XScale Processor has a watchdog function implemented using a timer / counter register set. It is assumed that watch- dog resets are generated only when software is not executing properly and has potentially destroyed data. During a watch- dog reset, all units are reset except of the Clocks and Power Manager.

ET(e)-XSCUser's Manual 2.5.2. ISA address space The ISA address space is used in I/O or memory access mode. With X86-compatible processors the distinction between the I/O and the memory domain is implemented by using different opcodes. The XScale/ARM architecture however does not support this architecture.
ET(e)-XSCUser's Manual 2.7. Graphics Subsystem The ET(e) XScale Module can be equipped with a 2 graphics controller. The first is always present as it is integrated in the PXA-255 CPU. The other one is an optional SiliconMotion SM501 discrete graphics controller with 8 MByte integrated frame buffer memory operating on the 32-bit wide bus.
