Title: Bootstrap options - what it is for?
Post by: Jane on June 17, 2015, 08:41:08 pm
Some SoC have bootstrap options. As far as I understand it  controls how a device( using that SoC) starts.
E.g. SoC BCM7440 ,made by Broadcom and that is  used in a blue ray devices , has several bootstrap options and one is
strap_test_debug_en_ , which probably enables debugging. But what kind of debugging? JTAG, UART or different? Can anyone explains? Thank you
