13.4 CHIP CONFIGURATION REGISTERS AND CHIP CONFIGURATION BYTES

Two chip configuration registers (CCRs) have bits that set parameters for chip operation and ex- ternal bus cycles. The CCRs cannot be accessed by code. They are loaded from the chip config- uration bytes (CCBs), which have internal addresses FF2018H (CCB0) and FF201AH (CCB1). If the CCBs are stored in external memory, their external addresses depend on the number of EPORT lines used in the external system (see “Internal and External Addresses” on page 13-1).

When the device returns from reset, the bus controller fetches the CCBs and loads them into the CCRs. From this point, these CCR bit values define the chip configuration until the device is reset again. The CCR bits are described in Figures 13-6 and 13-7. The remainder of this section de- scribes the state of the chip following reset and the process of fetching the CCBs.
