z Selection is made by General purpose NVM bit sampled at reset
z Remap Command
z Allows Remapping of an Internal SRAM in Place of the Boot Non-Volatile Memory (ROM or External Flash)
z Allows Handling of Dynamic Exception Vectors
6.2.1 Matrix Masters
The Bus Matrix of the SAM9M10 manages Masters, thus each master can perform an access concurrently with others,
depending on whether the slave it accesses is available.
Each Master has its own decoder, which can be defined specifically for each master. In order to simplify the addressing,
all the masters have the same decodings.

6.2.2 Matrix Slaves
Each Slave has its own arbiter, thus allowing a different arbitration per Slave to be programmed.
6.2.3 Masters to Slaves Access
All the Masters can normally access all the Slaves. However, some paths do not make sense, such as allowing access
from the Ethernet MAC to the internal peripherals. Thus, these paths are forbidden or simply not wired, and shown as “-”
in the following tables.
The four DDR ports are connected differently according to the application device.
The user can disable the Video Decoder in the Video Mode Configuration Register (bit VDEC_SEL) in the Chip
Configuration User Interface.
z When the Video Decoder is not enabled (VDEC_SEL=0), the ARM instruction and data are respectively connected to
DDR Port 0 and DDR Port 1. The other masters share DDR Port 2 and DDR Port 3.
z When the Video Decoder is enabled (VDEC_SEL=1), DDR Port 0 is dedicated to the video controller, and DDR Port 1
to the LCD controller. The remaining masters share DDR Port 2 and DDR Port 3.
