In my understanding, what C5402 bootloader is looking for at the first time is the address of the "boot table". An 8-bit boot table must starts with 0x08 followed by 0xAA. The exact format of boot table can be found in the section "Parallel Boot Mode" of SPRA618. To specify the address of this boot table using 8-bit wide flash, you must: - put your flash in DATA space - put LSB of boot table address in 0xFFFF - put MSB of boot table address in 0xFFFE - you must program yor 8-bit wide flash in big-endian format (MSB first). For example, if your boot table is located at 0x4000: 0xFFFF(DATA) contains 0x00 0xFFFE(DATA) contains 0x40 I suppose that what you store at address 0x4000 is the "BOOT TABLE" Hope it helps. --- In , "Jean Viljoen" <jean.viljoen@a...> wrote: > Dear Group > > I have a STMicro M29W010B 8-bit wide Flash memory module connected to a > C5402 on a custom board.
