A.4. Configuration signals

Table A.3 shows the configuration signals. The value of N is one less than the number of processors in your design.

Table A.3. Configuration signals

SignalTypeDescription
CFGEND[N:0]Input

Individual processor control of the endianness configuration at reset. It sets the initial value of the EE bit in the CP15 System Control Register (SCTLR):

0

EE bit is LOW.

1

EE bit is HIGH.

This signal is only sampled during reset of the processor.

CFGTE[N:0]Input

Individual processor control of the default exception handling state. It sets the initial value of the TE bit in the CP15 System Control Register (SCTLR):

0

TE bit is LOW.

1

TE bit is HIGH.

This signal is only sampled during reset of the processor.

CLUSTERID[3:0]Input

Value read in the Cluster ID field, bits[11:8], of the CP15 Multiprocessor Affinity Register (MPDIR).

This signal is only sampled during reset of the processor.

IMINLNInput

Individual processor control of the instruction cache minimum line size at reset. It sets the initial value of the IminLine field in the CP15 Cache Type Register (CTR):

0

32-bytes.

1

64-bytes.

This signal is only sampled during reset of the processor.

VINITHI[N:0]Input

Individual processor control of the location of the exception vectors at reset. It sets the initial value of the V bit in the CP15 System Control Register (SCTLR):

0

Exception vectors start at address 0x00000000.

1

Exception vectors start at address 0xFFFF0000.

This signal is only sampled during reset of the processor.

CP15SDISABLE[N:0]Input

Disable write access to some secure CP15 registers.
