5.4.2 Hard Reset Configuration Examples
This section presents some examples of hard reset configurations in different systems.

5.4.2.1 Single PowerQUICC II with Default Configuration

This is the simplest configuration scenario. It can be used if the default values achieved by clearing the
hard reset configuration word are desired. This is applicable only for systems using single-PowerQUICC
II bus mode (as opposed to 60x bus mode). To enter this mode, tie RSTCONF to VCC as shown in
Figure 5-5. The PowerQUICC II does not access the boot EPROM; it is assumed that the def ault
configuration is used upon exiting hard reset.

5.4.2.2 Single PowerQUICC II Configured from Boot EPROM

For a configuration that differs from the default, the PowerQUICC II can be used as a configuration master
by tying RSTCONF to GND as shown in Figure 5-6. The PowerQUICC II can access the boot EPROM.
It is assumed the configuration is as defined there upon exiting hard reset.
1The user should exercise caution when changing this bit. This bit has an immediate effect on the external bus and
may result in unstable system operation.
