Processor Initialization, Resets, and Clocking

3.2Resets

The processor has the following reset inputs:

nRESET

This signal is the main processor reset that initializes the majority of the

 

processor logic.

PRESETDBGn

This signal resets processor debug logic and CoreSight ETM-R4.

nSYSPORESET

This signal is the reset that initializes the entire processor, including CP14

 

debug logic and the APB debug logic. See CP14 registers reset on page

 

11-23 for information.

nCPUHALT

This signal stops the processor from fetching instructions after reset.

All of these are active-LOW signals that reset logic in the processor. You must take care when designing the logic to drive these reset signals.

The processor synchronizes the resets to the relevant clock domains internally.
