If the RCHW stored in either internal or external flash is invalid (boot identifier field of RCHW is not 
0x5A), or if BOOTCFG[0] negates and BOOTCFG[1] asserts when RSTOUT negates, then RCHW is not 
applicable, and serial boot mode is invoked. Table 4-10 summarizes the RCHW location options. 
4.4.4 Reset Configuration Timing
The timing diagram in Figure 4-4 shows the sampling of the BOOTCFG[0:1], WKPCFG, and 
PLLCFG[0:1] pins for a power-on reset. The timing diagram is also valid for internal/external resets 
assuming that V
DD,
 V
DDSYN,
 and V
DDEH6
 are within valid operating ranges. The values of the 
PLLCFG[0:1] pins are latched at the negation of the RSTOUT
 pin, if the RSTCFG pin is asserted at the 
negation of RSTOUT. The value of the WKPCFG signal is applied at the assertion of the internal reset 
signal (as indicated by the assertion of RSTOUT
). The values of the WKPCFG and BOOTCFG[0:1] pins 
are latched 4 clock cycles before the negation of RSTOUT
 and stored in the reset status register 
(SIU_RSR). BOOTCFG[0:1] are latched only if RSTCFG is asserted. WKPCFG is not dependent on 
RSTCFG
.
