Peripheral Memory Map

The register maps for each peripheral are described in the corresponding section of this datasheet. The peripheral memory
map has 16K bytes reserved for each peripheral.

Initialization

Reset initializes the user interface registers to their default
states as defined in the peripheral sections of this
datasheet and forces the ARM7TDMI to perform the next
instruction fetch from address zero. Except for the program
counter, the ARM core registers do not have defined reset
states. When reset is active, the inputs of the AT75C220
must be held at valid logic levels.

There are three ways in which the AT75C220 can enter
reset:

1.

Hardware reset. Caused by asserting the RESET
pin, e.g., at power-up.

2.

Watchdog timer reset. The WD timer can be pro-
grammed so that if timed out, a pulse is generated
that forces a chip reset.

3.

Software reset. There are two software resets which
are asserted by writing to bits [11:10] of the SIAP
mode register. SIAP_MD[11] forces a software reset
with RM set low and SIAP_MD[10] forces a reset
with RM set high.

Reset Pin

The reset pin should be asserted for a minimum of 10 clock
cycles. However, if external DRAM is fitted, then reset
should be applied for the time interval specified by the
SDRAM datasheet, typically 200 µs. The OakDSPCores
are only released from reset by the ARM program control.

When reset is released, the pin NDSRA/BOOTN is sam-
pled to determine if the ARM should boot from internal
ROM or from external memory connected to NCS0. The
details of this boot operation are described in the section
“Boot Mode” on page 11.

Processor Synchronization

The ARM and the OakDSPCore processors have their own
PLLs and at power-on each processor has its own indeter-
minate lock period. To guarantee proper synchronization of
inter-processor communication through the mailboxes, a
specific reset sequence should be followed.

Once the ARM core is out of reset, it should set and clear
the reset line of the OakDSPCore three times. This guaran-
tees message synchronization between the ARM and the
OakDSPCore.
