R10000 Microprocessor User's Manual

8. Initialization

This section describes initialization of the R10000 processor, including initialization of logical registers.

Initialization of the processor occurs during a reset sequence. The processor supports three separate reset sequences:

These sequences are described in this chapter.

Also described are the mode bits.
