Description
CLREXMONREQ
Input
Clearing of the external global exclusive monitor request. When this signal is asserted,
it acts as a WFE wake-up event to all the cores in the MPCore device. See
CLREXMON
request and acknowledge signaling
on page 2-20
for more information.
CLREXMONACK
Output
Clearing of the external global exclusive monitor acknowledge. See
CLREXMON
request and acknowledge signaling
on page 2-20
for more information.
EVENTI
Input
Event input for processor wake-up from WFE state. See
Event communication using
WFE or SEV
on page 2-25
for more information.
EVENTO
Output
Event output. Active when a
SEV
instruction is executed. See
Event communication using
WFE or SEV
on page 2-25
for more information.
STANDBYWFI[CN:0]
Output
Indicates whether a core is in WFI low-power state:
0
Core not in WFI low-power state.
1
Core in WFI low-power state. This is the reset condition.
STANDBYWFE[CN:0]
Output
Indicates whether a core is in WFE low-power state:
0
Core not in WFE low-power state.
1
Core in WFE low-power state.
STANDBYWFIL2
Output
Indicates whether the L2 memory system is in WFI low-power state. This signal is active
when the following conditions are met:
•
All cores are in WFI low-power state, held in reset, or
nL2RESET
is asserted
LOW.
•
In an ACE configuration,
ACINACTM
is asserted HIGH.
•
In a CHI configuration,
SINACT
is asserted HIGH.
•
If ACP has been configured,
AINACTS
is asserted HIGH.
•
L2 memory system is idle.
L2FLUSHREQ
Input
L2 hardware flush request.
L2FLUSHDONE
Output
L2 hardware flush complete.
SMPEN[CN:0]
Output
Indicates whether a core is taking part in coherency.
DBGNOPWRDWN[CN:0]
Output
Processor no powerdown request
0
Do not request that the processor stays powered up.
1
Request that the processor stays powered up.
DBGPWRUPREQ[CN:0]
Output
Processor powerup request
0
Do not request processor to power up.
1
Request that the processor is not powered up.
DBGPWRDUP[CN:0]
Input
Processor powered up
0
Processor is powered down.
1
Processor is powered up.
