Pin Straps

The following signals are used for static configuration. They are sampled at the rising edge of either DSW_​PWROK, RSMRST#, or PCH_​PWROK to select configuration and then revert later to their normal usage. To invoke the associated mode, the signal should meet both set up time of 1 us and hold time of 65 us, with respect to the rising edge of the sampling signal.

Comment

GPP_​B14 / SPKR / TIME_​SYNC1 / GSPI0_​CS1#

Top Swap Override

Rising edge of PCH_​PWROK

The strap has a 20 kohm ± 30% internal pull-down.

0=>Disable “Top Swap” mode. (Default)

1=>Enable “Top Swap” mode. This inverts an address on access to SPI, so the processor fetches the alternate boot block instead of the original boot-block. PCH will invert the appropriate address lines (A[23:16]) as selected in Top Swap Block size soft strap.

Notes:
  1. The internal pull-down is disabled after PCH_​PWROK is high.
  2. Software will not be able to clear the Top Swap (TS) bit (Bus0, Device31, Function0, offset DCh, bit 4) until the system is rebooted.
  3. The status of this strap is readable using the Top Swap bit.
  4. This signal is in the primary well.

GPP_​B18 / GSPI0_​MOSI

No Reboot

Rising edge of PCH_​PWROK

The strap has a 20 kohm ± 30% internal pull-down.

0=>Disable “No Reboot” mode. (Default)

1=>Enable “No Reboot” mode (PCH will disable the TCO Timer system reboot feature). This function is useful when running ITP/XDP.

Notes:
  1. The internal pull-down is disabled after PCH_​PWROK is high.
  2. This signal is in the primary well.

GPP_​C2 / SMBALERT#

TLS Confidentiality

Rising edge of RSMRST#

This strap has a 20 kohm ± 30% internal pull-down.

0=>Disable Intel® CSME Crypto Transport Layer Security (TLS) cipher suite (no confidentiality). (Default)

1=>Enable Intel® CSME Crypto Transport Layer Security (TLS) cipher suite (with confidentiality). Must be pulled up to support Intel® AMT with TLS.

Notes:
  1. The internal pull-down is disabled after RSMRST# de-asserts.

0000 = Master Attached Flash Configuration (BIOS / Intel CSME on SPI). eSPI is enabled

0010 = Master Attached Flash Configuration (BIOS / Intel CSME on SPI). eSPI is disabled

0100 = BIOS on eSPI Peripheral Channel; CSME on master attached SPI

1000 = Slave Attached Flash Configuration (BIOS / Intel CSME on eSPI attached device).

1100 = BIOS on eSPI peripheral Channel; Intel CSME on slave attached SPI.
