If this mode is entered out of reset, the EPROM is located at $7000–$7FFF and vector accesses are from 
external memory. To be in expanded-multiplexed mode with EPROM located at $F000–$FFFF, it is 
necessary to start in single-chip mode, executing out of EPROM, and then set the MDA bit of the HPRIO 
register to switch mode.
NOTE
R/W
, AS, and the high-order address bus (port B) are inputs in single-chip 
mode. These inputs may need to be pulled up so that off-chip accesses 
cannot occur while the MCU is in single-chip mode.
2.2.3 Special Bootstrap Mode (BOOT)
This special mode is similar to single-chip mode. The resident bootloader program contains a 256-byte 
program in a special on-chip read-only memory (ROM). The user downloads a small program into 
on-board RAM using the SCI port. Program control is passed to RAM when an idle line of at least four 
characters occurs. In this mode, all interrupt vectors are mapped to RAM (see Table 2-2), so that the user 
can set up a jump table, if desired.
Bootstrap mode (BOOT) is entered out of reset if the voltage level on both MODA and MODB is low. The 
programming aspect of bootstrap mode, used to program the one-time programmable ROM (OTPROM) 
through the MCU, is entered automatically if IRQ
 is low and programming voltage is available on the V
PP
pin. IRQ
 should be pulled up while in reset with MODA and MODB configured for bootstrap mode to 
prevent unintentional programming of the EPROM. 
This versatile mode (BOOT) can be used for test and diagnostic functions on completed modules and for 
programming the on-board PROM. The serial receive logic is initialized by software in the bootloader 
ROM, which provides program control for the SCI baud rate and word format. Mode switching to other 
modes can occur under program control by writing to the SMOD and MDA bits of the HPRIO register. Two 
special bootloader functions allow either an immediate jump-to-RAM at memory address $0000 or an 
immediate jump-to-EPROM at $F000.
