Boot Configuration
In order to use SAM-BA boot, the NAND Flash and SPI DataFlash must be deselected.
Pressing the pushbutton PB4 (CS boot disable) disconnects these two components from the system while the ROM Boot
is searching for a boot device after reset. A reset can be forced by pressing the PB1 (NRST) pushbutton. Note that PB1
and PB4 pushbuttons are located on the main board (MB).
In order to boot from SAM-BA, both PB1 and PB4 should be pressed, then PB1 released while PB4 is kept pressed until
SAM-BA boots.
