AM3352: SYSBOOT pins connections

Jochen Stehle

Part Number: AM3352

Hello,

is it possible to connect the SYSBOOT Configuration Pins (especially SYSBOOT[4:0] which controlls the Bootsequenz) direct to GND or 3.3V without an resistor?

I want to protect my hardware from someone who tries to put a different voltage between resistor and AM3352 to change the Bootsequenz.

Thank you very much

Bootsequenz means bootsequence

Hi,

This is absolutely forbidden. You may permanently damage the device.

Ok Thank you very much. Is there any other option to protect the HW ? We are useing a eMMC on Port MMC1 and nobody should be able to stop booting from this device and put his own code into from a other source.

Best Regards

There are secure versions of the processor, but you need to contact TI directly to inquire about them. They cannot be discussed on a public forum.

Oh that sounds good. Thank you. One last Question, with secure versions of the processor you mean a pin to pin compatible but only with security?
