External Port Booting
The ADSP-21367/8/9 processors allow booting through the external port.
There are two options, which are described in the following sections.
Booting Through the AMI
The asynchronous memory interface (AMI) supports an 8-bit user boot
called AMI boot. Only the
MS1 signal is used for AMI(FLASH/EEPROM)
booting. Table 14-10 shows the bit settings for AMI boot. These bits are
described in detail in “AMI Control Registers (AMICTLx)” on page A-17.
