3.9 Pin Multiplexing

The DM355 makes extensive use of pin multiplexing to accommodate the large number of peripheral functions in the smallest possible package. In order to accomplish this, pin multiplexing is controlled using a combination of hardware configuration (at device reset) and software control. No attempt is made by the DM355 hardware to ensure that the proper pin muxing has been selected for the peripherals or interface mode being used, thus proper pin muxing configuration is the responsibility of the board and software designers. An overview of the pin multiplexing is shown in Table 3-12.

3.9.1Hardware Controlled Pin Multiplexing

Use the Asynchronous EMIF configuration pins (AECFG[3:0]) for hardware pin mux control. AECFG[3:0] control the partitioning of the AEMIF addresses and GPIOs at reset, which allows you to properly configure the number of AEMIF address pins required by the boot device while unused addresses pins are available as GPIOs. These settings may be changed by software after reset by programming the PinMux2 register The PinMux2 register is in the System Control Module. As shown in Table 3-13, the number of address bits enabled on the AEMIF is selectable from 0 to 16. Pins that are not assigned to another peripheral and not enabled as address signals become GPIOs (except EM_A[2:1]). The enabled address signals are always contiguous from EM_BA[1] upwards; bits cannot be skipped. The exception to this are EM_A[2:1]. These signals (can be used to) represent the ALE and CLE signals for the NAND Flash mode of the AEMIF and are always enabled. Note that EM_A[0] does not represent the lowest AEMIF address bit. DM355 supports only 16-bit and 8-bit data widths for the AEMIF. In 16-bit mode, EM_BA[1] represents the LS address bit (the half-word address) and EM_BA[0] represents the MS address bit (A[14]). In 8-bit mode, EM_BA[1:0] represent the 2 LS address bits. Note that additional selections are available by programming the PinMux2 register in software after boot. Note that AECFG selection of ‘0010’ selects OneNAND interface. The AEMIF needs to operate in the half-rate mode (full_rate = 0) to meet frequency requirements. Software should not change the PINMUX2 register setting to affect the AEMIF rate operation. A soft reset of the AEMIF should be performed any time a rate change is made.
