Reconfiguration includes the following steps:
1. After the device exits power-on-reset (POR), the boot ROM loads flash memory
from one of the four static firmware slots at addresses 0, 256k, 512k, or 768k to
initialize the SDM. The same configuration firmware is present in each of these
locations. ( Refer to Step 2 of Guidelines for Performing Remote System Upgrade
Functions for Non-HPS on page 77 for step-by-step details for programming the
firmware into the flash.)
2. The optional direct-to-factory pin controls whether the SDM firmware loads the
factory or application image. You can assign the direct-to-factory input to any
unused SDM pin. The SDM loads the application image if you do not assign this
pin.
3. The configuration firmware pointer block in the flash device maintains a list of
pointers to the application images.
