5.4 Reset Configuration
Various features may be configured during hard reset or power-on reset. For example, one configurable
features is core disable, which can be used to configure a system that uses two PowerQUICC IIs, one a
slave device and the other a the host with an active core. Most configurable features are reconfigured
whenever HRESET is asserted. However, the clock mode is configured only when PORESET is asserted.
The 32-bit hard reset configuration word is described in Section5. 4.1, “Hard Reset Configuration Word.”
The reset configuration sequence is designed to support a system that uses up to eight PowerQUICC II
chips, each configured differently. It needs no additional glue logic for reset configuration.
The description below explains the operation of this sequence with regard to a multiple-PowerQUICC II
system. This and other simpler systems are described in Section5.4.2, “Hard Reset Configuration
Examples.” In a typical multi-PowerQUICC II system, one PowerQUICC II should act as the
configuration master while all other PowerQUICC IIs should act as configuration slaves. The
configuration master in the system typically reads the various configuration words from EPROM in the
system and uses them to configure itself as well as the confi guration slaves. How the PowerQUICC II acts
during reset configuration is determined by the value of the RSTCONF input while PORESET changes
from assertion to negation. If RSTCONF is asserted while PORESET changes, PowerQUICC II is a
configuration master; otherwise, it is a slave.
In a typical multiple-PowerQUICC II system, RSTCONF input of the configuration master should be hard
wired to ground, while RSTCONF inputs of other chips should be connected to the high-order address bits
of the configuration master, as described in Tabl e 5-5.

0–30 Reserved, should be cleared.
31 CSRE Checkstop reset enable. The core can enter checkstop mode as the result of several exception
conditions. Setting CSRE configures the chip to perform a hard reset sequence whenever the core
enters checkstop state.
0 Reset not generated when core enters checkstop state.
1 Reset generated when core enters checkstop state.
Note:When the core is disabled, CSRE must be cleared.
