16.5.7.1.1 NAND Flash Specific Header Detection (Recommended Solution)

This is the first method used to determine NAND Flash parameters. After Initialization and Reset command, the Boot Program reads the first page without an ECC check, to determine whether the NAND parameter header is present. The header is made of 52 times the same 32-bit word (for redundancy reasons) which must contain NAND and PMECC parameters used to correctly perform the read of the rest of the data in the NAND. This 32-bit word is described below.

If the header is valid, the Boot Program continues with the detection of a valid code.

Note: Booting on 16-bit NAND Flash is not possible; only 8-bit NAND Flash memories are supported.
