Subject: Re: Using address pin as GPIO on 56F805 with PE Currently, there is not possible to use only a part of the address
bus in the CPU bean options. We are planing such option for the
future versions.

Workaround:
In the current version, it is possible to disable external bus and
initialize external memory manually (Linker Command File generation
has to be disabled and memory segments need to be modified manually
within a Linker Command File to avoid a PE memory range checking).
The pins used of the address are (as stated in the manual)
initialized as an address lines after reset. So user should only
place BitIO beans into the project, using some of these pins and
Processor Expert will initialize them as GPIO pins and the rest of
the address-bus pins will remain address lines.
