Mode

Description

0Expanded mode—Bypasses the bootstrap ROM. The DSP56301 begins fetching instructions, starting at $C00000. Memory accesses are performed using SRAM memory access type with 31 wait states and no address attributes selected (default).

1Bootstrap from byte-widememory—Loads a program memory segment from consecutive byte-wide P memory locations, starting at P:$D00000 (bits 7-0). The memory is selected by the Address Attribute AA1 and is accessed with 31 wait states. The EPROM bootstrap code expects first to read 3 bytes specifying the number of program words, then 3 bytes specifying the address to start loading the program words, and then 3 bytes for each program word to be loaded. The number of words, the starting address, and the program words are read least significant byte first followed by the middle and then the most significant byte. The program concatenates consecutive three byte sequences into 24-bit words and stores them in contiguous PRAM memory locations starting at the specified address. After the program words are read, program execution starts from the same address where loading started.

2Bootstrap through SCI—The hardware reset vector is located at address $FF0000 in the bootstrap ROM. The program bootstraps through the SCI. The bootstrap program sets the SCI to operate in 10-bit asynchronous mode, with 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. Data is received in this order: start bit, 8 data bits (LSB first), and one stop bit. Data is aligned in the SCI receive data register with the LSB of the least significant byte of the received data appearing at Bit 0.The user must provide an external clock source with a frequency at least 16 times the transmission data rate. Each byte received by the SCI is echoed back through the SCI transmitter to the external transmitter. The boot program concatenates every three bytes read from the SCI into a 24-bit wide DSP56301 word.

Note: DSP CLKOUT rate must be at least 64 times the data transmission rate.

3Host bootstrap in DSP-to-DSPmode—The hardware reset vector is located at address $FF0000 in the bootstrap ROM. The program bootstraps through the HI32 in UB mode, double strobe, HTA pin active low. The DSP56301 is written with 24-bit-wide words.

Note: DSP CLKOUT rate must be at least three times the data transfer rate.

4Bootstrap from SPI-compatible Serial EEPROM through the SCI— The hardware reset vector is at address $FF0000 in the bootstrap ROM. The program bootstraps through the HI32 in standard PCI slave configuration. The DSP56301 is written with 24-bit-wide words encapsulated in 32-bit wide PCI transfers.

Note: DSP CLKOUT rate must be 5/3 of the PCI clock.

5Host bootstrap 16-bit wide ISA slave glueless interface in UB mode—Loads the program memory from the Host Interface programmed to operate in the Universal Bus mode supporting ISA (slave) glueless connection. Using Self-Configuration mode, the base address in the CBMA is initially written with $2F, corresponding to an ISA HTXR address of $2FE (Serial Port 2 Modem Status read-only register). The HI32 bootstrap code expects to read 32 consecutive times the magic number $0037. Subsequently, the bootstrap code expects to read a 16-bit word that is the designated ISA Port Address; this address is written into the CBMA. The HOST Processor must poll for the Host Interface to be reconfigured. This must be done by reading the HSTR and verifying that the value $0013 is read. Then the host processor starts writing data to the Host Interface. The HI32 bootstrap code expects to read a 24-bit word first that specifies the number of program words, followed by a 24-bit word specifying the address from which to start loading the program words, followed by a 24-bit word for each program word to be loaded. The program words are stored in contiguous PRAM memory beginning at the specified starting address. After reading the program words, program execution starts from the address where loading started.

Note: DSP CLKOUT rate must be at least three times the data transfer rate.
