• If the system is in the SAFE mode and the SAFE mode request from MC_RGM is active, and if
the target mode requested is other than RESET or SAFE, then this new mode request is considered
to be invalid, and the S_SEA bit of the ME_IMTS register is set.
• If the TARGET_MODE bit field of the ME_MCTL register is written with a value different from
the specified mode values (i.e. a non existing mode), an invalid mode transition event is generated.
When such a non existing mode is requested, the S_NMA bit of the ME_IMTS register is set. This
condition is detected regardless of whether the proper key mechanism is followed while writing
the ME_MCTL register.
• If some of the device modes are disabled as programmed in the ME_ME register, their respective
configurations are considered reserved, and any access to the ME_MCTL register with those
values results in an invalid mode transition request. When such a disabled mode is requested, the
S_DMA bit of the ME_IMTS register is set. This condition is detected regardless of whether the
proper key mechanism is followed while writing the ME_MCTL register.
• If the target mode is not a valid mode with respect to current mode, the mode request illegal status
bit S_MRI of the ME_IMTS register is set. This condition is detected only when the proper key
mechanism is followed while writing the ME_MCTL register. Otherwise, the write operation is
ignored.
• If further new mode requests occur while a mode transition is in progress (the S_MTRANS bit of
the ME_GS register is ‘1’), the mode transition illegal status bit S_MTI of the ME_IMTS register
is set. This condition is detected only when the proper key mechanism is followed while writing
the ME_MCTL register. Otherwise, the write operation is ignored.
NOTE
As the causes of invalid mode transitions may overlap at the same time, the
priority implemented for invalid mode transition status bits of the
ME_IMTS register in the order from highest to lowest is S_SEA, S_NMA,
S_DMA, S_MRI, and S_MTI.
As an exception, the mode transition request is not considered as invalid under the following conditions:
• A new request is allowed to enter the RESET or SAFE mode irrespective of the mode transition
status.
• As the exit of HALT and STOP modes depends on the interrupts of the system which can occur at
any instant, these requests to return to RUN0…3 modes are always valid.
• In order to avoid any unwanted lockup of the device modes, software can abort a mode transition
by requesting the parent mode if, for example, the mode transition has not completed after a
software determined ‘reasonable’ amount of time for whatever reason. The parent mode is the
device mode before a valid mode request was made.
• Self-transition requests (e.g. RUN0  RUN0) are not considered as invalid even when the mode
transition process is active (i.e. S_MTRANS is ‘1’). During the low-power mode exit process, if
the system is not able to enter the respective RUN0…3 mode properly (i.e. all status bits of the
ME_GS register match with configuration bits in the ME_<mode>_MC register), then software
can only request the SAFE or RESET mode. It is not possible to request any other mode or to go
back to the low-power mode again.
