2. Programming control program transfer
When boot mode is entered, the boot program in
the SH7050 (originally incorporated in the chip) is
started and the programming control program in
the host is transferred to RAM via SCI
communication. The boot program required for
flash memory erasing is automatically transferred
to the RAM boot program area.
