AM335x XIP Boot Upper Address Line process

Guru 15520 points

Hi,

I have question about AM335x non-muxed XIP Boot.

In TRM(spruh73l) page.4926 "26.1.7.2.2 Pin used", it said as follows;

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Specifically, external logic is needed to isolate the upper address lines (A12-A27) of the NOR flash

from the device pins and drive them low during non-muxed NOR boot.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

So, I guess bus-switch can be the solution for isolate the upper address and drive those address lines low.

The connection between GPMC and NOR Flash will be like follows:

A0 to A11 : directly connected

A12 to A27 : connected via bus switch

But the pattern length will be diffent because of bus-switch.

My customer is concerned whether the gap of the timing occurs for this patterh length difference or not.

After XIP boot, would this become a problem for GPMC operation against NOR Flash?

Or can this gap of timing be ignored and it will not influence to GPMC operation?

best regards,

g.f.
