The Boot Region
The MPU address map is divided into the following regions:
• The boot region
• The SDRAM region
• The FPGA slaves region
• The HPS peripherals region

The Boot Region
The boot region is 1 MB in size, based at address 0. After power-on, or after reset of the system intercon‐
nect, the boot region is occupied by the boot ROM, allowing the Cortex-A9 MPCore to boot. Although
the boot region size is 1 MB, accesses beyond 64 KB are illegal because the boot ROM is only 64 KB.
The 1 MB boot region can be subsequently remapped to the bottom 1 MB of SDRAM region by adjusting
the L2 cache address filter.
Note: Alternatively, the boot region can be mapped to the 64 KB on-chip RAM.
