All of the device boot and configuration pin settings are captured in the corresponding bit fields in the
BOOTCFG register (see Section 3.4.2.1, BOOTCFG Register).
The following subsections provide more details on the device configurations determined at device reset:
AEM, PLLMS, PCIEN, 8_16, and LENDIAN.
3.5.1.1 EMIFA CS2 Bus Width (8_16)
The default width of the EMIFA chip select space 2 (EM_CS2) is determined by the 8_16 input captured in
BOOTCFG.8_16. If 8_16 = 0, the EM_CS2 space data bus defaults to 8-bits wide. If 8_16 = 1, it defaults
to 16-bits wide. The C6424 sets the default of the EMIFA register A1CR.ASIZE based on the 8_16 input.
For EMIFA boot modes (Section 3.4.1.3, EMIFA Boot Modes), the user must set 8_16 appropriately to set
the default bus width for boot.
Note: 8_16 only selects the default bus width for EMIFA CS2 space. The CS2 bus width may be changed
at any time by software through programming the EMIFA register A1CR.ASIZE field. All other chip select
spaces default to 8-bits wide and must be modified using the corresponding EMIFA control register if
16-bit operation is desired.
Note: 8_16 does not affect pin mux control. It is the user's responsibility to configure AEM[2:0]
appropriately so that the desired EMIFA data pins are selected.
3.5.1.2 EMIFA Pinout Mode (AEM[2:0])
To support different usage scenarios, the C6424 provides intricate pin multiplexing between the EMIFA
and other peripherals. The PINMUX0.AEM register bit field in the System Module determines the EMIFA
Pinout Mode. The AEM[2:0] pins only select the default EMIFA Pinout Mode. It is latched at device reset
de-assertion (high) into the BOOTCFG.DAEM bit field. The AEM[2:0] value also sets the default of the
PINMUX0.AEM bit field. While the BOOTCFG.DAEM bit field shows the actual latched value and cannot
be modified, the PINMUX0.AEM value can be changed by software to modify the EMIFA Pinout Mode.
Note: The AEM[2:0] value does not affect the operation of the EMIFA module itself. It only affects which
EMIFA pins are brought out to the device pins. For more details on the AEM settings, see Section 3.7,
Multiplexed Pin Configurations.
3.5.1.3 FASTBOOT PLL Multiplier Select (PLLMS)
If FASTBOOT = 1, the PLLMS[2:0] pins select PLL multiplier for Fastboot modes. If FASTBOOT = 0, the
PLLMS[2:0] pins are ignored.
The PLLMS[2:0] pin values are latched at device reset de-assertion into the BOOTCFG.PLLMS field and
cannot be modified by software. This value is only applicable during fast boot.
For more information on boot modes and the FASTBOOT PLL multiplier selection, see Section 3.4.1, Boot
Modes.
3.5.1.4 Endianess Selection (LENDIAN)
The LENDIAN configuration pin latched at reset determines the endianess setting of the device. If
LENDIAN = 1, little endian is selected. If LENDIAN = 0, big endian is selected.
The setting is latched and stored in the BOOTCFG.LENDIAN field and cannot be modified by software.
3.5.1.5 PCI Enable (PCIEN)
The PCIEN configuration pin determines if the PCI peripheral is used on this device. If PCIEN = 1
indicating the PCI is used, then the PCI multiplexed pins default to PCI functions, and the pins’
corresponding internal pullup/pulldown resistors are disabled. If PCIEN = 0 indicating the PCI is not used,
then the PCI muxed pins default to non-PCI functions, and the pins’ corresponding internal
pullup/pulldown resistors are enabled.
The PCIEN setting is captured and stored in the BOOTCFG.DPCIEN bit field, and also in the
PINMUX1.PCIEN bit field. These values cannot be changed by software. Furthermore, for proper device
operation, the user must hold the desired setting at the PCIEN pin throughout device operation.
