Express
Configuration Technical Reference Manual
.
2.2.2
ON/OFF/Soft Reset push button briefly pressed
You can reset the system by briefly pressing the
ON/OFF/Soft Reset
switch on the back panel.
This performs a software reset of the ARM test chip on the CoreTile daughterboard. The MCC
and Daughterboard Configuration Controller reset the devices in the system, but do not perform
a full re-initialization:
1.
The reset switch is briefly pressed and the MCC starts a reset sequence.
Caution
If
the
ON/OFF/Soft Reset
switch is pressed and held for more than two seconds, the
system enters the Standby State, in the same way as pressing the black
Hardware RESET
push button.
2.
The MCC asserts the
CB_nRST
reset signal. Depending on the setting of
ASSERTNPOR
in
the generic configuration file
config.txt
,
CB_nPOR
might also be asserted.
3.
The daughterboards and IO FPGA are reset.
4.
The MCC also releases
CB_nPOR
if it was specified in the configuration file.
MCC releases
CB_nRST
.
5.
The daughterboards enter the run state.
Note
No daughterboard configuration files are read as a result of an external reset. No daughterboard
re-configuration is performed.
2.2.3
Hardware RESET push button
You can change the operation of the board from
ON
to
Standby
by briefly pressing this button.
This switches off the power to the daughterboards and resets the system to the default values.
