Nexus Port Controller (NPC)
NOTES:
1 PSTAT Mode is intended for factory processor debug only. The PSTAT_EN bit should be written to disable PSTAT
mode if Nexus messaging is desired. No Nexus messages are transmitted under any circumstances when PSTAT
mode is enabled.

34.5 Functional description
34.5.1 NPC reset configuration
The NPC is placed in disabled mode upon exit of reset. If message transmission via the auxiliary port is
desired, a write to the PCR is then required to enable the NPC and select the mode of operation. Asserting
MCKO_EN places the NPC in enabled mode and enables MCKO. The frequency of MCKO is selected by
writing the MCKO_DIV field. Asserting or negating the FPM bit selects full-port or reduced-port mode,
respectively.
Table 34-7 describes the NPC reset configuration options.

34.5.2 Auxiliary Output Port
The auxiliary output port is shared by each of the Nexus modules on the device. The NPC communicates
with each of the Nexus modules and arbitrates for access to the port.
