Abstract
A method for performing an initialization or a reset of a port of an integrated circuit includes: receiving in a device for supervising ports, from a central processing unit of the integrated circuit, a port initialization signal comprising port initialization data and one or more parity bits; inverting in the device for supervising ports the one or more parity bits in accordance with the port initialization signal; providing the port initialization signal comprising the port initialization data and the inverted one or more parity bits to the port of the integrated circuit; on receipt of the port initialization signal at the port, inverting again in the port the inverted one or more parity bits, thereby obtaining the original one or more parity bits and storing the port initialization data and the just obtained original one or more parity bits.
