Since you are using a synchronous ROM with an asynchronous EMIF, you cannot
do it 'gluelessly'.
1. I would use ARE on the G pin.
2. I would use CE -- delayed by 1 ECLKOUT -- on the E pin. This will give
you the address hold time that you need.

You can use almost any parallel rom device - there should not be an issue
with the HS-6664RH device. [it is the synchronous memory devices where
'things can get tricky']

You will need to be aware that the boot code [application code] will be very
different for the 6713 and the 6701 due to very different architectures.
The 6713 has a unified internal memory architecture - the 6701 has separate
data and program memory.
The 6713 boots 1k of rom into internal memory and executes - the 6701 boots
64k and executes [if your rom is smaller, it will be mirrored in upper
memory].
The 6713 uses bus pins to decode boot and configuration information - the
6701 has dedicated pins.
FYI- the EMIFs and DMA channels are different also.
TI released an app note about 10 years ago on the differences - I am not
sure if they still have it on their web site [note: for everything but the
execution of floating point instructions, you can use 6201 or 6701 as a
reference. Also, the 6211 is 'functionally highly similar' to the 6713 -
they are pretty much the same except for the PLL, internal mem size, and the
McASP peripheral. The reason for this long-winded explanation is that you
might locate a document that compares the 6201 to the 6211 and almost all of
the differences will translate to the 6701 and 6713.

Dear All,
I want to design hardware based on DSP processors TMS320C6713/TMS320C6701. On DSK6713 they have used AM29LV400B flash as boot memory. I have question that can i use any PROM or flash as boot memory for the processors TMS320C6713/TMS320C6701 or there is specific list of memories that can be used as boot memory.
I want to use this PROM 'HS-6664RH'as boot memory but i think that control signal timing for this PROM does not match the EMIF timing. Can i use this PROM as booting device.

Please guide me in this regard

Many thanks,
Kind Regards,
Avais
