Loader for ADSP-21161 SHARC Processors
Table 4-10. ADSP-21161 Loader Command Line Switches (Cont’d)
Switch Description
-si-revision #|none|any The -si-revision {#|none|any} switch provides a silicon revision
of the specified processor.
The switch parameter represents a silicon revision of the processor
specified by the -proc processor switch. The parameter takes
one of three forms:
The none value indicates that the VisualDSP++ ignores
silicon errata.
The # value indicates one or more decimal digits, followed
by a point, followed by one or two decimal digits.
Examples of revisions are: 0.0; 1.12; 23.1. Revision
0.1 is distinct from and “lower” than revision 0.10.
The digits to the left of the point specify the chip tapeout
number; the digits to the right of the point identify
the metal mask revision number. The number to the
right of the point cannot exceed decimal 255.
The any value indicates that VisualDSP++ produces an
output file that can be run at any silicon revision.
The switch generates either a warning about any potential anomalous
conditions or an error if any anomalous conditions occur.
In the absence of the silicon revision switch, the loader utility
selects the greatest silicon revision it is aware of, if any.
� In
the absence of the switch parameter (a valid revision
value)—-si-revision alone or with an
invalid value—the loader utility generates an error.
-t# (Host boot type only) Specifies timeout cycles. The -t switch (for
example, -t100) limits the number of cycles that the processor
spends initializing external memory with zeros. Valid values range
from 3 to 32765 cycles; 32765 is the default value.
The timeout value (#) is related directly to the number of cycles
the processor locks the bus for boot-loading, instructing the processor
to lock the bus for no more than two times the timeout
number of cycles. When working with a fast host that cannot tolerate
being locked out of the bus, use a relatively small timeout
value.
