3.3.532-Bit Device Interface

Intel® IXP45X and Intel® IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors—General Hardware Design Considerations

For example, as in this case when booting of a 16-bit flash device, bit 0 and 7 of Configuration Register 0 must be set as follows:

Bit 0 = 0.

This can be done by placing an external 4.7-KΩpull-down resistor to pin EX_ADDR[0].

Bit 7 = 0.

This can be done by placing an external 4.7-KΩpull-down resistor to pin EX_ADDR[7].

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® IXP45X and Intel® IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors Developer’s Manual.

3.3.532-Bit Device Interface

The IXP45X/IXP46X network processors support 32-bit wide data bus devices (32-bit word mode). For Intel interface cycles, the data lines and control signals can be connected as shown in Figure 3 on page 25 and Figure 4 on page 26.

When booting a 32-bit flash device, the expansion bus must be configured during reset to the 32-bit mode (see Configuration Register 0). To accomplish this, boot-strapping is required in certain address pins of the Expansion bus. For example, as in this case when booting of a 32-bit flash device, bit 0 and 7 of Configuration Register 0 must be set as follows:

Bit 0 = 1.

By default this bit is set high when coming off reset or any time reset is asserted.

Bit 7 = 1.

By default this bit is set high when coming off reset or any time reset is asserted.

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® IXP45X and Intel® IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors Developer’s Manual.
