Operating Modes
5.1
Overview
This section gives a brief overview of the operating modes of this device.
5.2
Modes of Operation
5.2.1
Normal Mode
Normal Mode is the functional mode of this device.
5.2.2
Debug Mode
Debug Mode provides access to powerful debugging and development features of this device. The debug
and development features are distributed between Nexus blocks in the e200z335 core, eDMA and the
eTPU, and some of the peripheral modules. The Nexus debug and development features are described in
Chapter 32, “Nexus Port Controller (NPC).”
The peripheral blocks that implement Debug Mode are:
•
DSPI B, DSPI C
•
FlexCAN A, FlexCAN C
•
eMIOS
•
eQADC
•
eTPU (referenced as Halt State in
Chapter 23, “Enhanced Time Processing Unit (eTPU)”
)
See the “Modes of Operation” section of the individual module for a description of how the Debug Mode
affects the behavior of the module.
5.2.3
Low Power Modes
This device can be configured such that the clock to some or all of the modules can be stopped to reduce
the power consumption. A tiered approach towards clock gating is implemented. In the first tier (Module
Disable mode) some modules can be configured to stop the clock to the non-memory mapped registers
within the module. In the second tier (Module Halt mode) the clock to each of the modules, including the
CPU, can be completely stopped.
5.2.3.1
Module Disable Mode
Module Disable Mode is a low-power mode supported by some of the modules on this device, in which
the clock to the non-memory mapped registers within the module is gated-off.
