9.1 General Comments

  • Non-NAND Memory Usage: The bootloader uses 2 KB of ARM local RAM starting from 0xFFFF0000. This memory should not be used by any initialized section of the user application.
  • Peripheral Configuration: The bootloader automatically configures the PSC and pinmux for the boot peripheral. It is not necessary to manually configure the PSC and pinmux for the boot peripheral.
  • DDR Configuration: If the DDR configuration ROM function is called, then the bootloader automatically configures the PSC and pinmux for the DDR interface. It is not necessary to manually configure the PSC and pinmux for the DDR interface if the ROM function is called.
  • Peripheral Configuration: Peripheral configuration settings applied during boot are not necessarily preserved when boot completes. If your application code uses the same peripheral that boots the device, your application should perform the normal procedure to initialize and configure that peripheral after boot. The exceptions to this rule are LPSC and pinmux settings, which are preserved after boot completes.
  • Default clocks: For I2C and SPI master-boot modes and UART-boot modes, the bootloader applies default peripheral clocks settings as shown in Table 6.
