Description
VINITHI
Input
Tie-off,
Reset
Reset V-bit value. When HIGH indicates HIVECS mode at reset.
See
c1, System Control Register
on page 4-35 for more
information.
CFGEE
Input
Tie-off,
Reset
Reset EE-bit value. When HIGH indicates the implementation
uses BE-8 mode for exceptions at reset. See
c1, System Control
Register
on page 4-35 for more information.
CFGIE
Input
Tie-off,
Reset
Instruction side endianness, reflected in the IE-bit. When HIGH
indicates that big endian instruction fetch is used. See
c1, System
Control Register
on page 4-35 for more information.
INITRAMA
Input
Tie-off,
Reset
Reset value of ATCM enable bit. When HIGH indicates
Tightly-Coupled Memory A, ATCM, enabled at reset. See
c9,
ATCM Region Register
on page 4-58 for more information.
INITRAMB
Input
Tie-off,
Reset
Reset value of BTCM bit. When HIGH indicates
Tightly-Coupled Memory B, BTCM, enabled at reset. See
c9,
BTCM Region Register
on page 4-57 for more information.
LOCZRAMA
Input
Tie-off,
Reset
When HIGH indicates ATCM initial base address is zero and
BTCM base address is implementation-defined.
When LOW indicates BTCM initial base address is zero and
ATCM base address is implementation-defined.
TEINIT
Input
Tie-off,
Reset
Reset TE-bit value. Determines exception handling state at reset.
When set to:
0 = ARM
1 = Thumb.
See
c1, System Control Register
on page 4-35 for more
information.
CFGATCMSZ[3:0]
Input
Tie-off

b0110 = 32KB
b0111 = 64KB
b1000 = 128KB
b1001 = 256KB
b1010 = 512KB
b1011 = 1MB
b1100 = 2MB
b1101 = 4MB
b1110 = 8MB.
