AT91SAM9263-EK WinCE Demo

• The WinCE demo has been developed to run out the NandFlash device on the AT91SAM9263-EK.

• The warning below concerns only the AT91SAM9263-EK Kit BOM 007.

• The Kit BOM Revision is mentioned on a sticker on the top left corner of the box

• For more details on Kit identification please refer to the AT91SAM9263-EK revB User guide available on ATMEL web site.



• WARNING

• Because of perturbations of the chip select line of the NAND Flash, the user might face access errors when reading or writing the NAND Flash.

• How to fix the issue?

• Solution 1 (Figure 1)

• replacing the resistor R139 (0 ohm) by a 470 Ohm resistor

• replacing the resistor R33 (470K Ohms) by a 100pF capacitor

• Solution 2 (Figure 2)

• Tying the chip select line to the ground can be an acceptable workaround. This can be achieved simply by connecting together the pin 2 of J29 and the pin 30 of J23. All the operating modes of the NAND Flash are not supported with this fix, as the accesses are controlled only with NANDOE and NANDWE. In particular, the standby modes are not functional.

• How can I prevent this issue on my own design?

• To prevent any risk occurrence of such an issue on your design using the AT91SAM9263, it is recommended to perform signal integrity analysis of the routing by using the IBIS model provided on the Atmel Web site

SAM9263-EK Boot Solutions

• Jumper J5 (Boot Mode Select) allows to select the Boot Mode of the AT91SAM9263-EK

• J5 Opened, the AT91SAM9263 boots from the on-chip Boot ROM

• The on-chip Boot ROM Memory integrates different programs permitting download and/or upload into the different memories of the product

• First, it initializes the DBGU and the USB Device Port.

• Then the Nandflash Boot program is executed. If a valid boot is found, the code is downloaded into the internal SRAM. This is followed by a remap and a jump to the first address of the SRAM.

• If no valid ARM vector sequence is found, SAMBA™ Boot is then executed. It waits for transactions either on the USB device, or on the DBGU serial port. Then, user can use SAM-BA GUI to download binary file into the different memories of the product.

• J5 Closed, the AT91SAM9263 boots from the off-chip memory connected to NCS0 (No memory is connected on the EK by default)


SAM9263-EK WinCE Demo

• Software requirements

• Demo WinCE file including:

• Binary Files: FIRSTBOOT.nb0, EBOOT.nb0 & NK.nb0
