In Shutdown mode, the entire CPU is powered down, so that it consumes no power. Before entering Shutdown mode, you must save all the processor state, including any required cache and TCM state in the level-2 memory. This typically includes cleaning the whole data cache. When it is powered up, the CPU is returned to Run mode by asserting and deasserting nRESETm. As part of the boot process, you must:
restore the CPU state if required
invalidate the caches
initialize the TCMs as part of the boot process.
