INITIALIZATION
Initialization describes the mechanism that the processor uses to establish its initial state and begin
instruction execution. Initialization begins when the RESET pin is deasserted. At this time, the
processor automatically configures itself with information specified in the IMI and performs its
built-in self test based on the sampling of the STEST pin. The processor then branches to the first
instruction of user code. See
Figure 12-1
for a flow chart of i960 Jx processor initialization.
