6.15.2.1 Non-secure callable (NSC) region definition in flash

The SPU provides support for the definition of non-secure callable (NSC) sub-regions to allow non-secure

to secure function calls.

A non-secure callable sub-region can only exist within an existing secure region and its definition is done

using two registers:

• FLASHNSC[n].REGION, used to select the secure region that will contain the NSC sub-region

• FLASHNSC[n].SIZE, used to define the size of the NSC sub-region within the secure region

The NSC sub-region will be defined from the highest address in that region, going downwards. Figure

below illustrates the NSC sub-regions and the registers used for their definition:
