Hardware Description

Timers There are four 32-bit down counters that can be used to generate interrupts at programmable intervals. A Real-Time-Clock is fed with an external 1Hz signal.

Synchronous serial port

The SSP provides a master or slave interface for synchronous serial communications using Motorola SPI, TI, or National Semiconductor Microwire devices.

Smart Card interface

The Smart Card interface signals are programmable to enable support for a Smart Card, Security Identity Module (SIM) card, or similar module.

Watchdog A Watchdog module can be used to trigger an interrupt or system reset in the event of software failure.

3.1.2Configuration control

The PB926EJ-S uses configuration switches and the SYS_CFGDATAx registers in the FPGA to control configuration of the ARM926EJ-S PXP Development Chip at power-up. In a typical product, configuration is static and the configuration signals are tied HIGH or LOW as appropriate.

After reset, configuration can be modified by the system controller and the configuration registers in the FPGA. For example, you can simulate a system that boots in big-endian or with the vector table located at address 0xFFFF0000 by changing the value of bits 0 and 1 in the SYS_CFGDATA2 register and pressing the SDC RECONFIG button.
