H/W masking was removed because it isn't MIPS-compliant. +- added NMI pin (more MIPS compliant). Asserting causes exception. Exception vector is reset (0xBFC00000). + Using NMI as reset is dangerous because periphery is not reseted. + Unitialized/unreseted periphery may cause trouble (e.g. firing unwanted interrupts) +- Bootloader: Startup now invalidates I/D-Caches at boot ----------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in release 11
