Figure 6: 2 CPUs Connection Through Internal 60x Arbiter
Note
By default, the BR1* input is masked, enabling CPU0 to boot first. To enable CPU1 to access the bus, set
the CPU Master Control register’s
MaskBR1
bit [9], at offset 0x160 to ‘0’.
If the internal arbiter is disabled, an external arbiter must be used. In this mode:
•
The BG1*/GT_BR* pin is used as the GT-64260A bus request output.
•
The BR0*/GT_BG* pin is used as the GT-64260A bus grant.
•
The BR1*/GT_DBG* pin is used as the GT-64260A data bus grant.
