Serial EEPROM Connected to the PowerSpan
The boot memory is a 4Mx8 AMD 29LV033 FLASH device. To reprogram the AMD FLASH device, special programming algorithms are defined by AMD, which combine reads and writes with special address patterns. The algorithm descriptions can be found at the AMD web site. You can also look or start from the source provided in the BDK (file app\c\amdflash.c).
Serial EEPROM Connected to the PowerSpan
An I²C serial EEPROM is connected to the PowerSpan. It is used to store certain PowerSpan register initialization values and the PCI Vital Product Data (VPD). Other
Table
The I²C Serial EEPROM can be easily accessed from the PCI side or from the local processor side, by using dedicated PowerSpan Register I2C_CSR.
