3.3.4  Mode 4 
The CPU can access a 16-Mbyte address space in advanced mode. The on-chip ROM is enabled. 
The program in the on-chip ROM connected to the first half of area 0 is executed. 
Ports A to C function as input ports immediately after a reset, but can be set to function as an 
address bus depending on each port register setting. Port D functions as a data bus and parts of 
ports F to H function as bus control signals. For details on function switching of ports A to C, see 
section 10, I/O Ports. 
The initial bus mode immediately after a reset is 8 bits, with 8-bit access to all areas. However, if 
16-bit access is designated for any one of the areas by the bus controller, the bus mode switches to 
16 bits and port E functions as a data bus. 
In the flash memory version, user program mode is entered by clearing the CBIDB bit to 0 and 
setting the FMCMDEN bit to 1 in FLMCR1. 
3.3.5  Mode 7 
The CPU can access a 16-Mbyte address space in advanced mode. The on-chip ROM is enabled, 
and the LSI starts up in single-chip mode. External address spaces cannot be used in single-chip 
mode. 
The initial mode immediately after a reset is single-chip mode, with all I/O ports available for use 
as input/output ports. However, setting the EXPE bit in SYSCR to 1 switches the mode to an 
externally expanded mode in which the external address spaces are enabled. When an externally 
expanded mode is selected, all areas are initially designated as a 16-bit access space. The functions 
of pins in ports A to H are the same as those in an externally expanded mode with on-chip ROM 
enabled. 
In the flash memory version, user program mode is entered by clearing the CBIDB bit to 0 and 
setting the FMCMDEN bit to 1 in FLMCR1.
