This control bit is provided for backwards

 

 

 

 

 

compatibility with software written for the NS9750

 

 

 

 

 

and NS9360 processors, and should not be used by

 

 

 

 

 

new software.

 

 

 

 

 

System software writes a 1 to this bit to stop the

 

 

 

 

 

clock to the CPU. Note that software is responsible

 

 

 

 

 

for stopping the clocks to all other modules except

 

 

 

 

 

the wakeup module(s) before setting this bit. When

 

 

 

 

 

this bit is set, the clock to the CPU is stopped and the

 

 

 

 

 

CPU is held in reset.

 

 

 

 

 

New designs should not use this bit.

 

 

 

 

 

They should stop the clock by executing the

 

 

 

 

 

following coprocessor instruction:

 

 

 

 

 

MCR p15, 0<Rd>, c7, c0, 4

 

 

 

 

 

This instruction places the ARM9 CPU into wait for

 

 

 

 

 

interrupt mode. In wait for interrupt mode, the clock

 

 

 

 

 

is stopped to the CPU but reset is not asserted.

 

 

 

 

 

The CPU resumes and executes a CPU Wake

 

 

 

 

 

Interrupt when activity is detected by one of the

 

 

 

 

 

wakeup modules selected by the other bits in this

 

 

 

 

 

register. The PC will be restored to the address after

 

 

 

 

 

the coprocessor instruction that stopped the CPU’s

 

 

 

 

 

clock when the CPU Wake Interrupt ISR completes.

 

 

 

 

 

The processor can not wake up on a timer interrupt

 

 

 

 

 

because the system timers are stopped when the

 

 

 

 

 

processor enters wake for interrupt mode.
