3.1.2 Boot Mode
The processor AM335x has an integrated Boot ROM which supports 31 different boot
configurations. Each configuration consists of a sequence of 4 different boot devices that are
checked in series for valid boot data. The configuration is selected by the five configuration pins
SYSBOOT[4:0].
The following sequences are preferred:
SPI0 – MMC0 – UART0 – EMAC1 0x16
EMAC1 –SPI0 – NAND – NANDI2C 0x06
In normal operation a serial NOR flash which is connected to SPI0 is used as primary boot device.
For development and production purposes EMAC1 can be selected as primary boot medium
The boot sequence is selected via the two DIP Switches SW1-2 and SW1-1:
Watch: Booting from the eMMC/NAND connected to the MMC1 interface is not possible!
3.1.3 Interrupts
The processor AM335x incorporates an integrated interrupt controller. It processes incoming
interrupts by masking and priority sorting to produce the interrupt signals for the CPU.
4 GPIO pins are used to cause unique interrupt requests for the PMIC and 3 external devices
connected at the SODIMM connector.
The signalling level of all interrupts is 3.3V. The interrupts can be programmed to be edge or level
sensitive.
3.2 NOR-Flash
An 8 MByte serial NOR flash of type MX25L6445M2I-10G von Macronix is used as primary boot
device. It is connected to the interface SPI0.
The integrated bootloader of the processor supports booting from the NOR flash. Booting from
NOR Flash is enabled if DIP switch SW1-1 is off.
