2.5.20 Boot assist module (BAM)
The BAM is a block of read-only memory containing code that is executed every time the MCU is
powered-on or reset in normal mode. The BAM supports multiple boot modes:
• Booting from internal flash memory
• Serial boot loading (a program is downloaded into on-chip general-purpose SRAM via UART or
the CAN and then executed)
The BAM also reads the reset configuration half word (RCHW) from flash memory (which may be
external to the device) and configures the PXR40 hardware accordingly. The BAM provides the following
features:
• Sets up MMU to cover all resources and mapping all physical addresses to logical addresses with
minimum address translation
• Sets up the MMU to allow application boot code to execute as either Classic Power Architecture
Book E code (default) or as Freescale VLE code
• Location and detection of application boot code
• Automatic switch to serial boot mode if internal flash memory is blank or invalid
• Supports software-programmable 64-bit password protection for serial boot mode
• Autobaud function in SCI and CAN download mode¹
