MPC8540 Reset Configuration
The MVME3100 supports the power-on reset (POR) pin sampling method for MPC8540 reset
configuration. The states of the various configuration pins on the MPC8540 are sampled when
reset is de-asserted to determine the desired operating modes. The following table describes
the configuration options and the corresponding default setting. Refer to the MPC8540
Reference Manual listed in
