Part Number: TMS320F28335
Hi TI,
which TI doc do I need to refer to to see how long it need to be elapsed to get boot process completed and point to the entry point of an application?

The number th(boot-mode) provides an estimate of this value. The boot-to-flash option is the fastest boot option available, since no boot-loading through a peripheral is involved. The moment the boot-mode-select pins are read and it is determined by the boot-ROM that a branch-to-flash is to be executed, that is carried out right away. This takes about 200 tc(OSCCLK) cycles as shown in the datasheet.
Thanks for the answer!
what is the page number that I can refer to see the cycle you mentioned?

does 'branch to FLASH' mean that Program counter designates the start memory address where a application loaded in the FLASH is executed from at first?
and Is the boot process executed under OSCCLK modified by PLL in case the PLL is initialized?
and I guess the OSCCLK is the one which is not modified by PLLSTS register.

Yes.

The PLL is not initialized in the boot-ROM. Please refer to 2.2.3 PLL Multiplier and DIVSEL Selection in page 173 of www.ti.com/lit/SPRUI07.

OSCCLK is the input to PLL. PLLSTS is use to divide the output of the PLL. Please refer to Figure 1-19. OSC and PLL Block in page 66 of www.ti.com/lit/SPRUI07.
Thanks Hareesh !
I'd like to know the 'OSCCLK' required for Boot Process is the one in red box below in case that XCLKIN, External Crystal or a Resonator are used.

Correct. OSCCLK is just the generic name for the input clock to the PLL. The source for OSCCLK can be an external oscillator, quartz crystal or a ceramic resonator.
