Brian It's a bit of a kludge, but you could use an AT91FR40162/4042. They have a piggyback flash in the same package as the CPU and the address & data lines are brought out. However, the package is a BGA, and if you don't bring the signals (including some form of JTAG enable) out from under the package, the part would have to be removed to get access to the data. We put a cut jumper under the BGA to be able to create a DEBUG board w/ JTAG access. Production boards had it disabled. If you need REAL code security then this is probably not the approach you want.

MSP430 has the jtag fuse that can be blown. I've seen rumors that there is something in the works for later this year, but that's doesn't help us now. Does anyone ave any suggestions for an ARM based, low power, large flash (128k minimum) with a decent pin count that has som kind of code protection for its flash? Thanks, Brian
