This section details what boot
configurations are available and how to configure them. This device supports from
zero boot mode select pins up to three boot mode select pins and from one configured
boot mode up to eight configured boot modes.
To change and configure the device
from the default settings to custom settings for your application, use the following
process:
- Determine all the various ways you want application to be able
to boot. (For example: Primary boot option of Flash boot for your main
application, secondary boot option of CAN boot for firmware updates, tertiary
boot option of SPI boot for debugging, and so on.)
- Based on the number of boot modes needed, determine how many
boot mode select pins (BMSPs) are required to select between your selected boot
modes. (For example: Two BMSPs are required to select between three boot mode
options.)
- Assign the required BMSPs to a physical GPIO pin. (For example,
BMSP0 to GPIO10, BMSP1 to GPIO51, and BMSP2 left as default that is disabled.).
Refer to Section 7.7.3.1
for all the details on performing these configurations.
- Assign the determined boot mode definitions to indexes in your
custom boot table that correlate to the decoded value of the BMSPs. For example,
BOOTDEF0 = Boot to Flash, BOOTDEF1 = CAN Boot, BOOTDEF2 = SPI Boot; all other
BOOTDEFx remain as default/nothing). Refer to Section 7.7.3.2 for all the
details on setting up and configuring the custom boot mode table.
