4.1.1 Memory I/O Interface
The Rabbit 3000 address lines (A0–A18) and all the data lines (D0–D7) are routed inter-
nally to the onboard flash memory and SRAM chips. I/0 write (/IOWR) and I/0 read
(/IORD) are available for interfacing to external devices.
Parallel Port A can also be used as an external I/O data bus to isolate external I/O from the
main data bus. Parallel Port B pins PB2–PB5 and PB7 can also be used as an external
address bus.
When using the external I/O bus for either Ethernet or the LCD/keypad module on the
Prototyping Board, or for any other reason, you must add the following line at the begin-
ning of your program.
#define PORTA_AUX_IO
// required to enable external I/O bus
4.1.2 Other Inputs and Outputs
/RES is an output from the reset circuitry that can be used to reset other peripheral devices.
This pin can also be used to reset the microprocessor.
