ABSTRACT:
A system and method to initialize registers with an EEPROM stored boot sequence is described. The method includes reading configuration records from an EEPROM coupled to an ASIC upon system reset. The configuration records specify target configuration registers and data to be written to the registers. The configuration records are translated to register write requests and data is written to the target registers via a bus of the ASIC to initialize the registers. Other masters, such as a processor, may be blocked from accessing the registers during the initialization.
