AEM[2:0] and AEAW2 pins after reset

Hi,

 

I would like to ask a question on pin status after reset for DM6437..

 

I have recorded the following behavior after PORn reset:

 

 

PORn

 

0

1

Voltage

0

1

0

1

AEM2  (only connected to low)

0

1

AEM1

0

1

1

1

AEM0

0

1

1

1

AEAW2

0

1

0.2

0.2

 

1.    While PORn is asserted (kept low), AEM[2:0] and AEAW2 (AEM2 is only connected to low and has no DIP switch; AEAW[1:0] are also without DIP switch) can take either high/low according to DIP switch.

2.    However, if PORn is released (pull high), all three AEM[2:0] goes to high, even including AEM2 which is hardwired to low, and DIP switches for AEM[1:0] loses their effect. The same happens to AEAW2 that its voltage measures 0.2V, regardless of its DIP switch setting.

 

 

From descriptions for these pins in Table 2-5, SPRS345D, TMS320DM6437 Digital Media Processor, these pins are also GPIO pins. So does the chip by default set these GPIO pins to high after reset? I haven’t burned any program into the flash, so what described should the chip’s own behavior alone.

 

Other configurations:

 

FASTBOOT=1

EMIFA ROM FASTBOOK with AIS

BOOTMODE=0100

 

 

 

So why does AEM[2:0] pins are set to high, AEAW2 to low, and with all DIP switching disabled? Should it be expected or is it abnormal?
