Initialization

Most DRAM vendors require that the DRAMs be subjected to some
number of access cycles before the DRAMs are fully operational. The
MCECC does not perform this automatically but depends on software to
perform enough dummy accesses to DRAM to meet the requirement. The
number of required cycles is less than 10. If there are multiple blocks of
DRAM, software has to perform at least 10 accesses to each block.
The MCECC pair provides a fast zero fill capability. The sequence shown
below performs such a zero fill. It zeros all of the DRAM controlled by this
MCECC pair at the rate of 100 MB/second when the BCLK pin is

initialized by power-up, soft, or local reset to match the
NOCACHE bit in the reset serial bit stream. It should
always be left at the default value of 1.
TVECT makes bidirectional signals work while running
the vendors test vectors on this chip. It should be cleared
for normal operation. It is initialized by power-up, soft, or
local reset, to match the TVECT bit from the reset serial
bit stream.
When REFDIS is set, refreshing is disabled. This mode
should only be used for testing, as DRAM must have
refresh to operate correctly. REFDIS is initialized by
power-up, soft, or local reset to match the REFDIS bit in
the reset serial bit stream.
