Hardware Design Guidelines—Intel®IXP43X Product Line of Network Processors

Boot-strapping is required in certain address pins of the Expansion bus. If it is required to change access mode, after the system has booted, and during normal operation; the Timing and Control Register for Chip Select must be configured to perform the desired mode access. For a complete description on accomplishing this refer to the Expansion Bus chapter in the Intel® IXP43X Product Line of Network Processors Developer’s Manual.

3.3.416-Bit Device Interface

The IXP43X network processors support 16-bit wide data bus devices (16-bit word mode). For Intel interface cycles, the data lines and control signals can be connected as shown in Figure 3 on page 26.

When booting a 16-bit flash device, the expansion bus must be configured during reset to the 16-bit mode (see Configuration Register 0).

Bit 0 = 0. This can be done by placing an external 470 ohm pull-down resistor to the pin EX_ADDR[0].

Bit 7 = 0. This can be done by placing an external 470 ohm pull-down resistor to the pin EX_ADDR[7].

Boot-strapping is required in certain address pins of the Expansion bus.To change to access mode after booting the system and during normal operation, the Timing and Control Register for Chip Select must be configured to perform the desired mode access.
