440GP – Power PC 440GP Embedded Processor
Data Sheet
Initialization
The PPC440GP provides the option for setting initial parameters based on default values or by reading them from
a slave PROM attached to the IIC0 bus (see “Serial EEPROM” below). Some of the default values can be altered
by strapping on external pins (see “Strapping” below).
Strapping
While the SysReset input pin is low (system reset), the state of certain I/O pins is read to enable certain default
initial conditions prior to PPC440GP start-up. The actual capture instant is the nearest reference clock edge before
the deassertion of reset. These pins must be strapped using external pull-up (logical 1) or pull-down (logical 0)
resistors to select the desired default conditions. They are used for strap functions only during reset. Following
reset they are used for normal functions.
The following table lists the strapping pins along with their functions and strapping options:

Serial EEPROM
During reset, initial conditions other than those obtained from the strapping pins can be read from a ROM device
connected to the IIC0 port. At the de-assertion of reset, if the bootstrap controller is enabled, the PPC440GP
sequentially reads 16 bytes from the ROM device on the IIC0 port and sets the SYS0and SYS1 registers
accordingly. Otherwise, the default values set in the STRP0 and STRP1 registers are used for initialization.
The initialization settings and their default values are covered in detail in the PowerPC 440GP Embedded
Processor User’s Manual.
