Boot Assist Module (BAM)
21.1
Overview
The Boot Assist Module (BAM) is a 4 Kbyte block of read-only memory (ROM) containing the boot
program code for this device.
The BAM program supports four different boot modes:
•
Boot from internal Flash
•
Serial boot via SCI or CAN interface
•
Serial boot via SCI or CAN interface with baud rate detection
•
Boot from a memory connected to the device calibration bus
The BAM program is executed by the e200z335 core just after a device reset. Depending on the boot mode,
the program initializes appropriate minimum device resources to start user code application.
21.2
Features
•
Initial e200z335 core MMU setup with minimum address translation for all internal device
resources
•
MMU configuration to boot user application, compiled as Classic PowerPC Book E code or as
Freescale VLE code
•
Passes control to user application code in the internal flash memory
•
Automatic switch to Serial Boot mode if internal flash is blank or invalid
•
Serial boot by loading user program via CAN bus or eSCI to the internal SRAM
— User programmable 64-bit password protection
— Optional automatic detection of the host SCI or CAN speed
•
Boot from an external memory device, connected to the calibration bus
•
Controls e200z335 core Watchdog Timer or/and the Software Watchdog Timer (SWT)
21.3
Modes of Operation
21.3.1
Normal Mode
The BAM program is executed immediately following the negation of reset.
21.3.2
Debug Mode
The BAM program is not executed when the device comes out of reset in OnCE debug mode. The user
must provide the required device initialization using the development tool before accessing the device
resources.
