| # | Good | Bad | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Limit the access to lower 16Mbytes | No change of code or hardware | Only 16MBytes can be accessed safely, may have to take special actions to actually limit the access to lower 16Mbyte |
| 2 | Preload from upper everything above 16Mbytes in FSBL, limit access to lower 16Mbytes after FSBL handout | Only FSBL changes needed | Access above 16MByte should not be performed from SSBL or application code. |
| 3 | Rewrite FSBL, SSBL and OS/RTOS Drivers to avoid using EAR register and "legacy mode" | Truly safe solution, no hardware changes no restriction on SPI Flash Partitioning. Very good solution for bare metal applications. | A lot of Code and drivers to modify, the patches have to be applied again after each software release. Access to SPI Flash above 16Mbyte must be done using SPIx1 mode command set. |
