Installing ASRAM

Installing Pipeline Burst SRAM on Cache Module

The cache module can be installed with 256KB or 512KB Pipeline Burst SRAM Module.Jumper for JP7 needs to be installed to configure the PBSRAM.Note - Install either the SRAM ICs or the Cache Module, do not install both at the same time.
