Abstract
A processing system includes a reset circuit, a memory storing configuration data, and a hardware configuration circuit transmitting the configuration data to configuration data clients. The system executes a reset phase, configuration phase, and software runtime phase. First and second reset terminals are associated with first and second circuitries which are respectively associated with configuration data clients. The configuration data includes first and second mode configuration data for the first and second terminals. During the reset and configuration phase, the first circuitry activates a strong pull-down, and the second circuitry activates a weak pull-down. During the software runtime phase, the first circuitry activate a weak pull-down for implementing a bidirectional reset terminal or activates a weak pull-up resistance for implementing a reset output terminal, and the second circuitry activates a weak pull-up for implementing a reset input terminal or activates a strong pull-up for implementing a reset output terminal.
