2.7. Processor Booting
The ‘C6x can boot from either the VME bus (via its Host Port Interface (HPI) port) or
from an 8-bit EEPROM on an installed PEM module. The jumpers listed in the following
table select the booting method for each node.

The Monaco board uses the CE1 memory space of the ‘C6x memory map 1 for the boot
space upon power up or reset. Immediately after booting, the ‘C6x cannot access the
resources in its CE1 space such as the Hurricane registers, Global Shared SRAM, and
SCV64 Registers. In order to access these CE1 resources, the ‘C6x must toggle the state
of its Timer 0 pin (TOUT0). The state of this pin is controlled by the DataOut bit of the
‘C6x Timer 0 Control Register. Once TOUT has been toggled, the CE1 resources are
available to the ‘C6x until the ‘C6x is reset.
