7.1.2.3.3 Clocks and Reset
Clock generation and distribution is handled outside of CAP and is dependent on the specific chip
implementation. Separate clock rates are required for CAP CSRs/Push/Pull Buses and ARB since
APB devices tend to run slower. CAP provides reset signals for the CAP CSR block and APB
devices. These resets are based on the system reset signal and synchronized to the appropriate bus
clock.
Table81 shows the Intel XScale® core and Microengine instructions used to access devices on
these buses and it shows the buses that are used during the operation. For example, to read an APB
peripheral such as a UART CSR, a Microengine would execute a csr[read] instruction and the Intel
XScale® core would execute a Load (ld) instruction. Data is then moved between the CSR and the
Intel XScale® core/Microengine by first reading the CSR via the APB bus and then writing the
result to the Intel XScale® core/Microengine via the Push Bus.
7.1.2.3.4 Reset Registers
The reset registers reside in the SHaC. For more information on chip reset, refer to Section10,
“Clocks and Reset”. Strapping pins are used to select the reset count (currently 140 cycles after
deassert). Options for reset count will be 64 (default), 128, 512, and 2048.
