 2.2 Operational Mode Selection
The operational mode for the CS485xx is selected by the values of the HS[4:0] pins on the rising edge of 
RESET
. This value determines the communication mode used until the part is reset again. This value also 
determines the method for loading application code. The table below shows the different operational modes 
and the HS[4:0] values for each mode.
 2.3 Slave Boot Procedures
When the CS485xx is the slave boot device, the system host controller (as the master boot device) must 
follow an outlined procedure for correctly loading application code. The slave boot procedure is described in 
this section. Slave boot requires the system host controller to send messages to, and read back messages 
from, the 
CS485xx. These messages have been outlined in Section 2.3.3 "Boot Messages" on page 2-6.
The 
CS485xx has different.uld files (overlays) for certain processing tasks. Slave booting the CS485xx 
requires loading multiple overlays - differing from previous Cirrus Logic Audio DSP families (that is, 
CS493xx, CS494xxx). Please refer to AN298, “
CS485xx Firmware User’s Manual” regarding more 
information on the breakdown of processing tasks for each overlay.

data), SPI clock frequency = Fdclk / 2. This mode supports the Atmel
