for RPBA, decide if you want to use rotating or fixed priority. With
only 2 processors, it shouldn't really matter that much, but it's still a
choice you need to make. Then tie that line high or low on both
processors.

For CPA, do you want each processor to be able to interrupt DMA's in
progress? If not, don't connect CPA to anything.

Connect BR1->BR1 and BR2->BR2 on both processors. Make sure one processor
is ID1 and the other is ID2. Tie BR3 thru BR6 high on both processors.

Sounds like a fun project!

Patience, persistence, truth,

Hi every one in the Group,
I am kalpana working on ADSP 21060 processor. In my application I
need to use two ADSP 21060 processors. My intention is to use the
processors in Cluster multiprocessing. I am not able to take a
decision about the connections of BR# pins CPA# & RPBA pins. Hardware
wise how will I connect them so that both that i use the facilities
of Cluster Multiprocessing. If anyone of u could tell me how to do
this, it would be of help for me.
