Hi,

I think you need to review page 261 the following section of the same document you shared:

"

Note: • You may select Relative addressing if you would like to set a relative address to the reset vector offset (0x01E00000) you configured earlier. For example, setting a start address of 0x01F00000 for the relative addressing mode changes the start address to 0x3D00000. • There is an issue for Absolute Addressing for EPCQ. Refer to this knowledge database for more details.

"

plus, please check the available design examples here:
