4.8 Sequential Read Enable Command (0x58535963)
When booting from a serial peripheral interface (SPI) or inter-integrated circuit (I2C) slave device, the bootloader uses a random read method to read the boot image from the slave memory device. This method requires sending a read command and a read address to read each byte. Many recent memory devices support reading in sequential method, where data can be read in sequential order without sending a read command/address for each byte. Using this method to read data greatly reduces boot time. The Sequential Read Enable command is used to enable the bootloader to use the sequential read method.
