Immediately after reset - yes, this will be BR0 value. Then, in your
code, you can set it to whatever you wish.

    Raymond> According to the datasheet,

Yes.

    Raymond> The span is START_VECTOR-BR0[BA] = 0xFFF0_0100 -

Wrong, read again. You will see your flash in the last 8MB
(FF800000-FFFFFFFF). In fact, you will see it repeating itself four
times (FE000000 means 32MB address space).

    Raymond> 3) I pull-down the RSTCONF, it doesn't work, only with

For MONITOR_BASE=TEXT_ADDR=0xFFF00000 you need
CFG_FLASH_BASE=0xFF800000. Check BDI initialisations and set the HRCW to
get the same values.
