4.2 Software Startup Procedure

At startup, the host may begin sending commands to control the device once the System Initialized flag has been set in the Short Status. This may be set by either the boot application or the main application. More detail on the Short Status can be found in Section 8.2.110 (Main Application) and Section 7.2.6 (Boot Application). The host should expect to receive NAKs (I2C) or invalid data (SPI) before the System Initialized flag is set. Figure 4-2 demonstrates the actions that the host should take at startup. Section 2.1.4.1 describes a hardware signal that can be used to debug startup timing and progress.

DLPC230-Q1 Communication Ready CheckFigure 4-2 Communication Ready Check
  • Read Short Status - Attempt to read the Short Status from hardware.
  • Command NAK? - If communication hardware has not yet been initialized, a NAK or invalid data will be received.
  • System Initialized? - If the Short Status was received successfully, check the System Initialized bit. If it is cleared, continue polling the Short Status until it is set.
  • Error Bits Set? - If any of the Short Status error bits are set, a startup error occurred. Examples of possible startup errors include startup BIST failures or auto-initialization batch command set execution errors. The Error History should be read for details on the errors and then the Short Status and Error History should be cleared to clear the prior error flags. The host may then determine what action to take based on the error conditions.
  • Application / Mode == Expected? - If no error bits are set, the application and operating mode should be checked to confirm that the software is in the expected state. If the application or mode are incorrect and no error is set, there are several system configuration parameters that can be checked. Check that the STAY-IN-BOOT signal is pulled to the desired state. This determines whether the main application is executed or if execution remains in the boot application. Check that the flash header file indicates that the correct main application operating mode (Standby or Display) is selected for the initial startup mode.

The boot application resides in boot ROM in the DLPC230-Q1. The boot application is executed after DLPC230-Q1 hardware has initialized at startup. The purpose of the boot application is to load the main application from flash and verify its contents during start-up. The boot application execution flow is shown in Figure 4-3. It reads the hardware pin signals described in Section 2.1 to configure the host communication interface and then it determines whether STAY-IN-BOOT has been set. If STAY-IN-BOOT is set, the boot application will enter a loop waiting for host-commanded instructions. If the STAY-IN-BOOT signal is not set, the boot application will load the main application from flash and verify it. If verification fails, an error will be recorded in the Error History and the boot application will enter the wait-for-command loop. If verification succeeds, the main application will be executed.

DLPC230-Q1 Boot Application Execution FlowFigure 4-3 Boot Application Execution Flow

The main application execution flow is shown in Figure 4-4. The main application begins by initializing clocks and then retrieves the cause of the last reset from hardware. It then executes any non-periodic BISTs that are selected through flash options. The main application will check a flash option to determine whether it should stay in Standby Mode or automatically switch to Display Mode. Once it has entered the desired mode, the auto-initialization batch command set will be run from flash memory. More information on batch command sets can be found in Section 5.2. The auto-initialization batch command set can be empty if there are no commands to be executed during start-up. The auto-initialization batch command set can also change the operating mode. Once the auto-initialization batch command set is complete, the main application will set the System Initialized Short Status flag to indicate that command transactions may be sent from the host.
