ABSTRACT:
A processor architecture suitable for embedded systems and compatible with different kinds of external memory, executes a bootstrap program to determine the characteristics of the external memory before connection with the external memory. For this purpose, system storage structures such as cache, buffers, and registers are enlisted as temporary memory for the execution of the bootstrap program up to configuration of the external memory. External memory setup data may be obtained from a variety of sources including external flash memory or a network.
