4.2.31 HSSR Register (Offset = 0x1F4) [reset = 0x0]
Hardware System Service Request (HSSR)
The HSSR register is used to control system configuration functions, such as return-to-factory settings. A
write to the HSSR register stores a command descriptor pointer (CDOFF) value if the KEY field is correct
(0xCA). A successful write to this register also initiates a system reset. The initialization process executes
before examining the HSSR register and processing the command. This register can only be accessed in
privilege mode. See
for more information on how to use the HSSR register.
HSSR is shown in
and described in

KEY

0x0
Write Key.
When read, this field returns zero. When written, this field must
contain the value of 0xCA to register the CDOFF field and initiate a
HSSR request. Writes with KEY values other than 0xCA are ignored.

CDOFF
R/W
0x0
Command Descriptor Pointer.
This field contains either the status result from the previous HSSR
request, or it contains a (word-aligned) memory address where the
command descriptor is located.
If CDOFF = 0x000000, there is no request and no prcoessing is
performed.
If CDOFF = 0xFFFFFF, the previous request through HSSR did not
complete due to an error.
Otherwise, CDOFF contains the offset for a data structure in SRAM.
