INTRODUCTION
This Application Note is a comparative list of features for the SST49LF016C and the ST
®
M50FW080 and M50FW016 Firm-
ware Hub Devices (FWH). Each device is used as BIOS storage and functions as a boot device when the first fetch cycles of
the microprocessor are executed.
DESCRIPTION
The following tables detail the features, the software commands, and pin assignments for each device. All devices support a
two Bus Write cycle command structure for FWH write cycles. A guide to mapping a consistent format 8 Mbit FWH BIOS
image to a 16 Mbit FWH device is provided.
8 Mbit BIOS Image Mapping: M50FW080 to SST49LF016C
To map a modified BIOS image of the M50FW080 to the SST49LF016C, the BIOS ROM must occupy the top half memory
address of the SST49LF016C. The starting address of the SST49LF016C memory map is 100000H, and starting address
of the 4-GByte System Memory is FFF00000H.
