8. Initialization

The R10000 processor uses mode bits to configure the operation of the microprocessor. These mode bits are loaded into the processor from the SysAD[63:0] bus during a power-on or cold reset sequence while SysGnt* is asserted. The SysADChk[7:0] bus does not have to contain correct ECC during mode bit initialization. During the reset sequence, the mode bits obtained from SysAD[24:0] are written into bits 24:0 of the CP0 Config register.
The mode bits are described in Table 8-1.
