ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a simple I/O port which can be used to support a variety of system functions such as a revision, configuration or identification register. This port is provided with a means to be programmable once, upon system power-up so that changes to the port contents are possible, but only under controlled conditions. Once the register has been programmed, it will no longer respond to writes.
