OMAPL138 EMIFA NOR Flash and GPIO

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAPL138

Hi,

I'm currently working a project for which we use the OMAPL138 processor.  My current task is to interface with a Micron NOR Flash (64Mx16bit) memory device for which I'm developing the NOR software libraries.  The NOR Flash vendor already provides a low level driver which I intend to re-use and integrate with the EMIFA Starterware libraries.  Right, now I have being able to setup this NOR library structure (but haven't test it yet).  Since, I haven't done any integration yet I'm still trying to make sense of some of the documentation and understand how it all will work out.  Looking into http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Connecting_NOR_Flash_to_OMAP-L138 I see that hardware wise the flash device has address pins need to be connected to either one of the other CS or a GPIO depending of the design.  In this case those will be connected to GPIO but I want to see if anyone could give some inputs how those GPIO need to be handle on the software side?  I assume that those need to be programmed as inputs but how do those need to get set in order to get to an specific upper bit address?  I'll like to understand the software side of it a bit better.

Thanks,

Jaime
