Scenario #3 - Bus bridge booting from external serial ROM
This chapter shows how to make use of more I/O and describes how to configure the I/O mux for a
node bus bridge.
The following assumptions are made for the system:
•
System boots and runs software from external serial memory. (Software can also execute from
internal instruction memory).
•
Connects to spacecraft bus either via MIL-1553B or SpaceWire, and on the other side to node
bus via CAN.
In table 23 two example of I/O configurations for Node bus bridge are depicted. Note that the external
SPI configuration ROM and SpaceWire are connected on dedicated pins.
