Booting Options for LS1012A

[joseph_lindula]

Hello, I am a newbie with NXP microprocessors and am looking at the LS1012A device. I would like to know what are the booting options, does it boot from external memory or is there on-chip flash that it boots from? I looked through the datasheet but it didn't see anything about Booting or Boot configuration pins. If it boots from internal memory then that is a plus for the microprocessor. Is this considered a microprocessor or a microcontroller? 

Thanks,

Joe

LS1012A is capable to boot from SPI NOR Flash only (internal controller QuadSPI) - refer to the QorIQ LS1012A Reference Manual, 4.4.4.1 Reset configuration word (RCW) source.
