10.21 Static Memory Configuration registers (EMCStaticConfig0-3 -
0xFFE0 8200, 220, 240, 260)
The EMCStaticConfig0-3 registers configure the static memory configuration. It is
recommended that these registers are modified during system initialization, or when there
are no current or outstanding transactions. This can be ensured by waiting until the EMC
is idle, and then entering low-power, or disabled mode. These registers are accessed with
one wait state.
shows the bit assignments for the EMCStaticConfig0-3 registers. Note that
synchronous burst mode memory devices are not supported.

Reserved, user software should not write ones to
reserved bits. The value read from a reserved bit is not
defined.

Page mode
(PM)
In page mode the EMC can burst up to four external
accesses. Therefore devices with asynchronous page
mode burst four or higher devices are supported.
Asynchronous page mode burst two devices are not
supported and must be accessed normally.
