6.3.3 Using Three Boot Modes

Suppose that a user wants to switch between 3 boot modes - SCI, flash and I2C. Three boot mode pins must be used, since the pins do not fall into the 4 device default boot modes.

To have further customization of boot modes as desired here, the user needs to use the BOOTPIN_CONFIG location of the user configurable DCSM OTP. This allows the user to select up to 3 GPIO pins to have up to 8 total boot modes.

The BOOTDEF register of the user configurable DCSM OTP also allows the user to configure boot modes beyond the default boot modes.

To switch between SCI, flash, and I2C Boot, the following steps need to be taken:

  1. Set BOOTPIN_CONFIG appropriately – bits 7-0, 15-8, 23-16 all to indicate which GPIOs is used to represent the boot mode. Bits 31-24 have the key 0x5A to validate the earlier bits.
  2. Set BOOTDEF1 to 0x01 to indicate SCI boot with boot mode 1 (when boot mode select GPIOs = 001) and the SCI GPIOs are GPIO29 and GPIO28.
  3. Set BOOTDEF3 to 0x03 to indicate Flash boot with boot mode 3 (when boot mode select GPIOs = 011). The Flash entry point is 0x80000 from Flash Bank 0, sector 0.
  4. Set BOOTDEF7 to 0x07 to indicate I2C boot with boot mode 7 (when boot mode select GPIOs = 111), and the I2C GPIOs are GPIO32 and GPIO33.

For experimentation with boot mode options, users can use the EMU_BOOTPIN_CONFIG register before writing to OTP_BOOTPIN_CONFIG. OTP_BOOTDEF also has a EMU_BOOTDEF for experimentation.

The equivalent of the BOOTPIN_CONFIG registers on the F2837x is the BOOTCTRL register.
