Hi folks,
I've been working for years with ARM -M processors and I'm facing -A processors for the first time.
I fell in love with Allwinner's V3S processor which is v7-A type.
The datasheet says that the processor is able to boot from an external SPI NOR memory.
The datasheet doesn't say anything about Execution In Place (XIP)
Question
Can I assume that the processor is able to execute code (XIP) directly from the SPI NOR external memory?
Thanks in advance,
Enrico Migliore
The data sheet let's assume the boot ROM does load code from SPI NOR to RAM and starts it there. So no XIP.
But since I (or google) cannot find a TRM it is hard to be 100% sure.
