Data Sheet

Initialization

The PPC440GP provides the option for setting initial parameters based on default values or by reading them from

a slave PROM attached to the IIC0 bus (see “Serial EEPROM” below). Some of the default values can be altered

by strapping on external pins (see “Strapping” below).

Strapping

While the SysReset input pin is low (system reset), the state of certain I/O pins is read to enable certain default

initial conditions prior to PPC440GP start-up. The actual capture instant is the nearest reference clock edge before

the deassertion of reset. These pins must be strapped using external pull-up (logical 1) or pull-down (logical 0)

resistors to select the desired default conditions. They are used for strap functions only during reset. Following

reset they are used for normal functions.

The following table lists the strapping pins along with their functions and strapping options:

Serial EEPROM

During reset, initial conditions other than those obtained from the strapping pins can be read from a ROM device

connected to the IIC0 port. At the de-assertion of reset, if the bootstrap controller is enabled, the PPC440GP

sequentially reads 16 bytes from the ROM device on the IIC0 port and sets the SYS0and SYS1 registers

accordingly. Otherwise, the default values set in the STRP0 and STRP1 registers are used for initialization.

The initialization settings and their default values are covered in detail in the PowerPC 440GP Embedded

Processor User’s Manual.
