Fault Reset Flow
7.2 Fault Reset Flow
The fault reset sequence of operation is triggered by the assertion of the ClkFwdRst_H
signal line. Figure 7–2 shows the fault reset sequence of operation. The reset state
machine is initially in RUN state. ClkFwdRst_H is asserted by the system, which
causes the state machine to transition to the WAIT_FAULT_RESET state.
The 21264/EV67 internally resets a minimum amount of internal state. Note the effects
of that reset on the IPRs in Table 7–5
.
The 21264/EV67 then waits for ClkFwdRst_H to deassert twice:
• One deassert to transition directly to the WAIT_ClkFwdRst1 state without perform-
ing any BiST
• One deassert to initialize the clock forwarding interface
The 21264/EV67 then begins fetching code at PAL_BASE + 0x780.
Figure 7–2 shows the fault reset sequence of operation. In Figure 7–2, note the follow-
ing symbols for constraints and information:
