Software Functions and Sample Code
Notes
1. Base = Base Address.
2. Last = Last cycle of write buffer program operation; depending on number of words written, the total number of cycles may be from 6 to
37.
3. For maximum efficiency, it is recommended that the write buffer be loaded with the highest number of words (N words) possible.
The following is a C source code example of using the write buffer program function. Refer to the
Spansion
Low Level Driver User’s Guide
(
www.spansion.com
) for general information on Spansion Flash memory
software development guidelines.
/* Example: Write Buffer Programming Command */
/* NOTES: Write buffer programming limited to 16 words. */
/* All addresses to be written to the flash in */
/* one operation must be within the same write buffer. */
/* A write buffer begins at addresses evenly divisible */
/* by 0x20.
UINT16 i; */
UINT16 *src = source_of_data; /* address of source data */
UINT16 *dst = destination_of_data; /* flash destination address */
UINT16 wc = words_to_program -1; /* word count (minus 1) */
*( (UINT16 *)base_addr + 0x555 ) = 0x00AA; /* write unlock cycle 1 */
*( (UINT16 *)base_addr + 0x2AA ) = 0x0055; /* write unlock cycle 2 */
*( (UINT16 *)dst ) = 0x0025; /* write write buffer load command */
*( (UINT16 *)dst ) = wc; /* write word count (minus 1) */
for (i=0;i<=wc;i++)
{
*dst++ = *src++; /* ALL dst MUST BE in same Write Buffer */
}
*( (UINT16 *)sector_address ) = 0x0029; /* write confirm command */
/* poll for completion */
/* Example: Write Buffer Abort Reset */
*( (UINT16 *)base_addr + 0x555 ) = 0x00AA; /* write unlock cycle 1 */
*( (UINT16 *)base_addr + 0x2AA ) = 0x0055; /* write unlock cycle 2 */
*( (UINT16 *)base_addr + 0x555 ) = 0x00F0; /* write buffer abort reset */
