Ohh I see. Makes sense. Can you ask your SoC engineers, why they
choose the IO3 default to high? I'd guess because it's usually
shared with HOLD# or RESET#. But that really begs the question
why the Atmel flash isn't working with that setting. I suspect
some problems during the turn around of the direction of IO3.
You'd really have to probe with an oscilloscope though.
