Macros

#define MSC_PROGRAM_TIMEOUT   10000000ul
 The timeout used while waiting for the flash to become ready after a write. This number indicates the number of iterations to perform before issuing a timeout. More...
 
#define EM_MSC_RUN_FROM_FLASH
 By compiling with the define EM_MSC_RUN_FROM_FLASH the Flash controller (MSC) peripheral will remain in and execute from flash. This is useful for targets that don't want to allocate RAM space to hold the flash functions. Without this define the MSC peripheral functions will be copied into and run out of RAM. More...

Macro Definition Documentation

#define MSC_PROGRAM_TIMEOUT   10000000ul
Note
This timeout is set very large (in the order of 100x longer than necessary). This is to avoid any corner cases.

#define EM_MSC_RUN_FROM_FLASH
Note
This define is commented out by default so the MSC controller API will run from RAM by default.

Definition at line 87 of file em_msc.h.

#define MSC_EXECCONFIG_DEFAULT
Value:
{ \
false, \
true, \
false, \
false, \
false, \
false, \
}

Default MSC ExecConfig initialization

Enumeration Type Documentation

Return codes for writing/erasing the flash

Enumerator
mscReturnOk 

Flash write/erase successful.

mscReturnInvalidAddr 

Invalid address. Write to an address that is not flash.

mscReturnLocked 

Flash address is locked.

mscReturnTimeOut 

Timeout while writing to flash.

mscReturnUnaligned 

Unaligned access to flash.

Definition at line 97 of file em_msc.h.

Function Documentation

void MSC_Init ( void  )
Note
IMPORTANT: This function must be called before flash operations when AUXHFRCO clock has been changed from default 14MHz band.
This function calls SystemCoreClockGet in order to set the global variable SystemCoreClock which is used in subseqent calls of MSC_WriteWord to make sure the frequency is sufficiently high for flash operations. If the clock frequency is changed then software is responsible for calling MSC_Init or SystemCoreClockGet in order to set the SystemCoreClock variable to the correct value.

__STATIC_INLINE void MSC_IntClear ( uint32_t  flags)
Parameters
[in]flagsPending MSC intterupt source to clear. Use a bitwise logic OR combination of valid interrupt flags for the MSC module (MSC_IF_nnn).

Definition at line 164 of file em_msc.h.

References MSC.

__STATIC_INLINE void MSC_IntDisable ( uint32_t  flags)
Parameters
[in]flagsMSC interrupt sources to disable. Use a bitwise logic OR combination of valid interrupt flags for the MSC module (MSC_IF_nnn).

Definition at line 177 of file em_msc.h.

References MSC.

__STATIC_INLINE void MSC_IntEnable ( uint32_t  flags)
Note
Depending on the use, a pending interrupt may already be set prior to enabling the interrupt. Consider using MSC_IntClear() prior to enabling if such a pending interrupt should be ignored.
Parameters
[in]flagsMSC interrupt sources to enable. Use a bitwise logic OR combination of valid interrupt flags for the MSC module (MSC_IF_nnn).

Definition at line 196 of file em_msc.h.

References MSC.

__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t MSC_IntGet ( void  )
Note
The event bits are not cleared by the use of this function.
Returns
MSC interrupt sources pending. A bitwise logic OR combination of valid interrupt flags for the MSC module (MSC_IF_nnn).

Definition at line 213 of file em_msc.h.

References MSC.

__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t MSC_IntGetEnabled ( void  )
Note
Interrupt flags are not cleared by the use of this function.
Returns
Pending and enabled MSC interrupt sources The return value is the bitwise AND of
  • the enabled interrupt sources in MSC_IEN and
  • the pending interrupt flags MSC_IF

Definition at line 233 of file em_msc.h.

References MSC.

__STATIC_INLINE void MSC_IntSet ( uint32_t  flags)
Parameters
[in]flagsMSC interrupt sources to set to pending. Use a bitwise logic OR combination of valid interrupt flags for the MSC module (MSC_IF_nnn).

MSC_Status_TypeDef MSC_WriteWord ( uint32_t *  address,
void const *  data,
uint32_t  numBytes 
)
Note
It is recommended to erase the flash page before performing a write.

It is recommended to run this code from RAM. On the Gecko family, it is required to run this function from RAM.

For IAR, Rowley, SimplicityStudio, Atollic and armgcc this will be achieved automatically by using attributes in the function proctype. For Keil uVision you must define a section called "ram_code" and place this manually in your project's scatter file.

This function requires a ystem core clock at 1MHz or higher.

Parameters
[in]addressPointer to the flash word to write to. Must be aligned to words.
[in]dataData to write to flash.
[in]numBytesNumber of bytes to write from flash. NB: Must be divisable by four.
Returns
Returns the status of the write operation
*   flashReturnOk - Operation completed successfully.
*   flashReturnInvalidAddr - Operation tried to erase a non-flash area.
*   flashReturnLocked - Operation tried to erase a locked area of the flash.
*   flashReturnTimeOut - Operation timed out waiting for flash operation
*       to complete. Or the MSC timed out waiting for the software to write
*       the next word into the DWORD register.
*

MSC_Status_TypeDef MSC_ErasePage ( uint32_t *  startAddress)
Note
It is recommended to run this code from RAM. On the Gecko family, it is required to run this function from RAM.

For IAR, Rowley, SimplicityStudio, Atollic and armgcc this will be achieved automatically by using attributes in the function proctype. For Keil uVision you must define a section called "ram_code" and place this manually in your project's scatter file.

Parameters
[in]startAddressPointer to the flash page to erase. Must be aligned to beginning of page boundary.
Returns
Returns the status of erase operation, MSC_Status_TypeDef
*   mscReturnOk - Operation completed successfully.
*   mscReturnInvalidAddr - Operation tried to erase a non-flash area.
*   mscReturnLocked - Operation tried to erase a locked area of the flash.
*   mscReturnTimeOut - Operation timed out waiting for flash operation
*       to complete.
