The Flash module has a further level of protection:

If bit DBGP of FLASH_NVAPR0 is programmed at 0, the device becomes Debug Access

protected: debug features, JTAG pins and flash Test Modes are disabled.

In EXTMEM mode the system boot is performed from the external memory, block 0 (CSN0 is

activated). The external memory is also mapped at address 0h (see PRCCU_BOOTCR

register).

Now somebody setup a Debug Protection STR710 In EXTMEM mode the system boot, Can somebody access internal Flash via external flash code (Code start from 0x60000000/0x00000000 access Internal Flash ar 0x40000000)?

STR711/STR712 have not EMI, so they can not boot from EXTMEM

if it is true, can EXTMEM boot be disabled for Debug Protection STR710 ?

I have a MB393 with str710, but i can tell you for sure that i wouldn't risk to put the protections on just to see if it works 🙂 Don't expect somebody else to do that for you 😉

I'm wondering too if it's worth the effort to use the security features.

if EMI is disabled, then can i use address/data bus to access LCD and SRAM etc. at Bank1, Bank2, Bank3?

or is Bank0 of EMI(0x6000 0000 - 0x60FF FFFF) disabled only?
