4.4.3.4 PLLCFG[0:1] Pins
The PLLCFG pins are explained in Section 11.1.4, “FMPLL Modes of Operation.” 
Refer to Chapter 2, “Signal Description” for information about the PLLCFG pins.
4.4.3.5 Reset Configuration Halfword
4.4.3.5.1 Reset Configuration Halfword Definition
The RCHW is read from either external memory or internal flash memory. If a valid RCHW is not found, 
a FlexCAN or eSCI boot is initiated. The RCHW is a collection of control bits that specify a minimum 
MCU configuration after reset and define the desired mode of operation of the BAM program. At reset the 
RCHW provides a means to locate the boot code, determines if flash memory is programmed or erased, 
enables or disables the watchdog timer, configures the MMU to boot as either classic Power Architecture 
Book E code or as Freescale VLE code, and if booting externally, sets the bus size. Refer to the register 
indicated in RCHW bit descriptions for a description of each control bit. 
NOTE
Do not configure the RCHW to a 32-bit bus size for devices with only a 
16-bit data bus.
If booting from internal flash or external memory, the application must ensure that RCHW is the correct 
value for the configuration, and that it resides in that memory location. The boot ID of the RCHW must 
read 0x5A. BOOT_BLOCK_ADDRESS is explained in Section 16.3.2.2.5, “Read the Reset 
Configuration Halfword.”
The fields of the RCHW are shown in Figure 4-3.
