Booting TMS320VC5509a processor by software

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320VC5509A

Hi;

 I have an old custom designed board with a TMS320VC5509A processor  (144 pin pqfp package). Now with code size I am already hitting the limit of 14 bit address line and once I reach beyond that, I cannot boot from the external EMIF boot option. My Flash is of 4MB, so no worries there. To access all of the flash, I have ALtera FPGA wherein I have put some glue logic. Obviously, I cannot use this glue logic during booting. Is it possible to write a small boot code which later on reads the bigger program code (using FPGA glue logic) and then resets the processor to boot from this new program? I hope it should be possible, other wise I have to design a new board with some different processor. A long and cumbersome process, I want to avoid.

Thanks

Anil
