DM3730: DM3730 without nand flash bootup

PENG Frank

Part Number: DM3730

Dear Ti Team:

I have current design upgrade project need to launch, our current design is platform is DM3730CBPA， but the pop LPDDR is going to EOL and without alternative part,

So, we need to evaluate DM3730CUSA (without pop process), I found a question:

1. if we use eMCP (one chip integrate LPDDR and Nand flash), we found the eMCP still may EOL in the next years;

2. if we use LPDDR(only mobile LPDDR) , we want to confirm the minimum system as belowing diagram is ok to boot up and operate, nor flash as the bootup flash, without nand bootup

hi PaulM:

Is there any feedback about the nor flash boot up solution, if we have not nand flash,

sysboot config setup ,or any circuit need to design to set Nor flash as primary boot up device. thanks

yes, this should be fine. Note that the nor flash will be XIP boot. Please consult the TRM Chapter 26 for details

You have the flexibility to choose either. The Micron device you quote would not work, since it has separate addr/data bus signals. As the TRM states, you need to chose a device with multiplexed addr/data bus
