equals a '1'. Once software detects that the NPE has been reset, software then can
clear the appropriate bits of the EXP_UNIT_FUSE_RESET register to deassert reset to
that NPE.
When software does a NPE reset, the coprocessor interfaces that are attached to that
NPE could enter reset at any time, even during the middle of a data transfer. The
system design must account for this abrupt reset on these busses. After being reset,
the coprocessor interfaces will go back to the default reset mode for that interface.
Additionally, the Intel XScale processor factory speed cannot be changed by software.
