P1011 Core1 Power

[hyoungkikim]

hello experts

i have  a P2020 board

to  save coset  i will plan to use P1011  with the same board

to test program   i will like to  replace P2020 cpu  with P1011 cpu

but  the board have Core0, Core1 power Pin connected to Power  which can not be disconnected

in P1011 datasheet  those pins are "NC" 

i just double-check  it's  OK to connect  those pins with Power

thank you

Yes, core1 power supply VDD is allowed to be connected to core0/platform power supply VDDC. The following is said in Design Checklist: "In single core devices, VDD can be connected to GND to save power, or else VDD should be connected from VDDC"

Here is a direct link to P1020/P1011 design checklist (application note AN4259):
