Why does the ML67Q4003/ML67Q5003 CPU board serial Flash write utility start programming the internal Flash at address 0xcc00.0000 and not 0xc800.0000?

Descriptive Answer:
The memory map for the ML67Q5003/ML67Q4003 CPU board will vary depending one the BSEL0/1 settings. The CPU users manual shows internal flash starting at address 0xc800.0000. However, this is only true when BSEL0/1 are both tied low. To program the internal Flash we must boot the ML67Q5003/ML67Q4003 CPU board in Boot ROM mode (BSEL1=1 and BSEL0=1), then internal Flash starts at 0xcc00.0000 and SRAM appears at 0xc800.0000. The table below shows how the memory map changes depending on the BSEL1/0 setting:

Boot Type BSEL 0 BSEL 1 ROMSEL MEMDIS 0x0 0xc800.0000 0xcc00.0000
               
Int Flash 0 0 1 0 Int Flash Int Flash Ext SRAM
Ext Rom 1 0 1 0 Ext SRAM Ext SRAM Int Flash
Boot Rom 0 1 1 0 Boot Rom Int Flash Ext SRAM
Boot Rom 1 1 1 0 Boot Rom Ext SRAM Int Flash


On the ML67Q4003 CPU Board, SRAM(TC55V16256) occupies part of Bank25 while internal Flash occupies the other.
