shows how the EPI[35:0] signals function while in Host-Bus 8 mode. Notice that the signal
configuration changes based on the address/data mode selected by the MODE field in the EPIHB8CFGn
register and on the chip select configuration selected by the CSCFG and CSCFGEXT field in the
EPIHB8CFG2 register.
Although the EPI0S31 signal can be configured for the EPI clock signal in Host-Bus mode, it is not
required and should be configured as a GPIO to reduce EMI in the system. Any unused EPI controller
signals can be used as GPIOs or another alternate function.
