Loading Firmware Patch Data
An external E
up sequence that stores Hardware Configuration
and PnP data, and firmware patch data. The part
contains RAM and ROM to run the core proces-
sor. The RAM allows updates to the core
processor functionality. Placing the firmware

The firmware patch data is typically included at
the end of the PnP resource data. Cirrus provides
a utility that will read in patch data from a file,
and append it to the PnP resource data. The
patch file must be obtained from Cirrus.
The Crystal Key
NOTE: The Crystal Key cannot differentiate be-
tween multiple Cirrus ISA Audio Codecs in a
system; therefore, ONLY ONE CS4239 is al-
lowed in systems using the Crystal Key. To
allow multiple parts in a system, the Plug-and-
Play isolation sequence must be used since it
supports multiple parts via the serial identifier
used in the isolation sequence. Crystal Key 2 is
also designed to allow motherboard and add-in
card chips to co-exist in a system.
The Crystal key places the part in the configura-
tion mode. Once the Crystal key has been
initiated, an alternate method of programming
the configuration registers may be used. This al-
ternate method is referred to as the "SLAM"
method. The SLAM method allows the user to
directly access the configuration registers, con-
f igure, and activate the chip, and then,
optionally, disable the PnP and/or Crystal key
feature. The SLAM method uses commands that
are similar to the PnP commands; however, they
are different since the user has direct access to
the configuration registers. To use the SLAM
method, see the Bypassing PnP section.

key:
