CHIP-SELECT UNIT
14.4 REGISTER DEFINITIONS
Table 14-1 and Table 14-2 list the signals and registers associated with the chip-select unit. There
are seven general-purpose chip-select channels (CSn) and one upper chip-select channel (UCS).
Upon reset, the UCS is enabled with the entire 64 Mbyte memory address space as its address
block. The UCS can be used to select a memory device at the top of the memory address space
so that the processor can fetch the first instruction from address 3FFFFF0H after reset.
