Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Secondary bus reset.

 

 

 

• When 0, the 21555 deasserts s_rst_l. This bit must be cleared by a

 

 

 

configuration write when it is set by a configuration write. Otherwise, it

clears automatically after 100 s or when p_rst_l deasserts.

Reset

• When 1, the 21555 asserts s_rst_l. This bit is set automatically when

 

 

 

 

 

the Chip Reset bit is written with a 1 or when p_rst_l is asserted, or is

 

 

 

set with a configuration write.

 

 

 

• Reset value is 0 (disabled).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chip reset control.

 

 

 

• When 1, the 21555 performs a chip reset and to assert s_rst_l. Data
