The censorship word is a 32 bit word of data stored in the shadow row of internal flash memory. This
memory location is read by hardware as part of the boot process and is used in conjunction with the
BOOTCFG pins to enable and disable the internal flash memory and the Nexus interface. The censorship
word consists of two fields: censorship control and serial boot control. The censorship word is
programmed during manufacturing to be 0x55AA_55AA. This results in a device that is not censored and
uses a flash-based password for serial boot mode.
