SAM9M10 [SUMMARY]
6355ES–ATARM–12-Mar-13
 
z
SAM-BA Boot in case no valid program is detected in external NVM, supporting
z
Serial communication on a DBGU
z
USB Device HS Port
7.2.4.2 BMS = 0, boot on external memory
z
Boot on on-chip RC
z
Boot with the default configuration for the Static Memory Controller, byte select mode, 16-bit data bus, Read/Write 
controlled by Chip Select, allows boot on 16-bit non-volatile memory.
For optimization purpose, nothing else is done. To speed up the boot sequence user programmed software should 
perform a complete configuration:
z
Enable the 32768 Hz oscillator if best accuracy needed
z
Program the PMC (main oscillator enable or bypass mode)
z
Program and Start the PLL
z
Reprogram the SMC setup, cycle, hold, mode timings registers for EBI CS0 to adapt them to the new clock
z
Switch the main clock to the new value
