TMS320C28346 the Bootloader and the XINF conflict

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C28346

Hello

I am willing to design a TMS320C28346 system with external FLASH atached to the XINF bus.

The system shall use the RS-232 SCIRXDA and SCITXDA for boot loading.

The problem is that the same pins are required for XZCS6 and XA19.

Therefore, I either connect them to my FLASH scarifying the boatload support,

Or connect them to my RS-232 transceiver, and have no FLASH interface.

Of coarse, I can build some glue logic and multiplexers external to the TMS320C28346 to solve this problem.

but such a solution would be expensive and PCB real estate consuming.

Are there any suggestions?

Is there any reference design that solve this issue?

By the way, the same problem exist if I choose to boatload with CAN instead of RS-232/

Thanks
