TMS320C6000 Tools: Vector Table and Boot ROM Creation (Rev. D)

Texas Instruments TMS320C6000™ digital signal processors (DSPs) provide a variety of boot configurations that determine which actions are performed after device reset, to prepare for initialization. The boot process is determined by latching the boot configuration settings at reset.

The boot process performed by the DSP is to either load code from an external read-only memory (ROM) space, or to have code loaded through the host interface by an external host processor.
