1. Flash Access Migration Guidelines from Control Block-Based Devices to SDM-Based Devices

1.1. Introduction

The flash access migration guidelines provide an idea on how you can implement a design with flash access and Remote System Update (RSU) operation on supported devices. These guidelines can also help you migrate from control block-based design to Secure Device Manager (SDM)-based design with flash access and RSU operation. Newer devices use SDM-based architecture with different flash access and remote system update when compared to legacy devices using control block-based architecture.
