Reset Configuration
SW13 and SW15 are used to define the state of the RESCON register bits AD15–
AD0. The RESCON register identifies a bit as a logic High when a switch segment
is in the ON position. For details, see Figure 2-24 on page 2-46 or sheet 3 of the
main board schematics included in your kit.
The RESCON register provides a way to make design-specific hardware
configuration information available to software. This information is latched into
the RESCON register from the state of AD[0..15] during reset. The Am186CC/
CH/CU microcontroller’s weak internal pulldowns default AD[0..15] Low during
reset. SW13 and SW15 can be used to set individual bits AD[0..15] High by setting
the appropriate switch segment to the ON position. Figure 2-23 shows the RESCON
register bits.
Figure 2-23. RESCON Register Bits
• Customer Development Platform: Identifies if the board is a CDP.
• Board ID: Unique board identifier that is used to determine what features are
available to the software.
• 0: Bits are reserved for future use.
• Panic Bit: Used by E86MON software to boot in a “safe mode”.
• TIP: Identifies the TIP board as being present in the system.
• Board Configuration: Identifies particular population option for the board.
