PLCC PROM and Flash Memory Device
The following memory devices are connected to the EBus:
S One PLCC PROM with 1 MByte address space
a
S One flash memory device with 16 MByte address space
The PLCC PROM is the device from which the CPU board boots by default.
The PLCC PROM is the device from which the CPU board boots by default.
a
The 16 MByte flash memory device can be used as:
S User flash memory of 16 MBytes
S Boot flash memory of 1 MByte with the remaining 15 MBytes used as user flash
S Boot flash memory of 1 MByte with the remaining 15 MBytes used as user flash
memory
The selection between both operation modes is made via on−board switches.
a
Whether to boot from the PLCC PROM or the flash memory device, is determined by
switch SW1−2. After booting, the whole PLCC PROM is switched off, regardless of the
position of switch SW 1−2. Switch SW1−1 is used to enable write−protection of the flash
memory device. If this switch is OFF (default), the flash memory device is
write−protected. In order to copy the PLCC PROM content to the flash memory device,
switch SW1−1 must be switched ON and switch SW1−2 must be set to OFF.
