PG048 December 18, 2012

Chapter 3:

Designing with the Core

Resets

The Reset input is the master reset input signal for the entire MicroBlaze MCS. In addition,

the entire MicroBlaze MCS or just the MicroBlaze processor can be reset from the Xilinx

MicroProcessor Debugger (XMD), provided that debug is enabled.

Protocol Description

See the I/O Bus timing diagrams in the

I/O Module Product Guide
