Re: [ECOS] What is the different between "ROM" and "ROMRAM" in the Bootup type ??

Dear Andrew,

    Thank you for you reply, but I still confuse about the following
questions.

1) When the board  powers on, does the CPU need to know which type and
vendor
of ROM flash?? (ex. AMD 29LV040B)

2) How does the CPU know the memory address which the ROM locates ??
because the files (xxx_romram.ldi/xxx_romram.h) only define the
RAM address and size.

Thnak you very much.

// Steven
