SERIAL CONTROL MODULE: SPI
System boot-over-SPI operation
438 Hardware Reference NS9215
Time to
completion
The boot-over-SPI operation is performed in two steps.
In the first step, the hardware fetches the 16-byte header. The data rate for
this step is about 375 Kbps and completes in less than 0.5ms.
In the second step, the hardware fetches the image at the user-specified data
rate. Calculate time to completion for this step as shown:
Time(s) = (1 / data_rate) * IMAGE
SIZE
For example, with a 20 Mbps data rate and a 256 KB (2Mb) image, the time
to completion is approximately 105ms.

For example, the value of this entry is 0x00000025 given
a 74.9 MHz AHB clock and a 7.8125μs refresh period.

Field B (buffer enable, in the DynamicConfig0 register)
should be set to 0 (buffers disabled). The buffers will be
enabled by hardware as part of the boot process.
