MSC - Memory System Controller#

MSC_Status_TypeDef#

MSC_Status_TypeDef

Return codes for writing/erasing Flash.

MSC_DmemMaster_TypeDef#

MSC_DmemMaster_TypeDef

AHBHOST masters that can use alternate MPAHBRAM ports.

MSC_PortPriority_TypeDef#

MSC_PortPriority_TypeDef

AHB port given priority.

MSC_Init#

void MSC_Init (void )

Initialize MSC module.

Puts MSC hw in a known state.

MSC_Deinit#

void MSC_Deinit (void )

Turn off MSC flash write enable and lock MSC registers.

MSC_ExecConfigSet#

void MSC_ExecConfigSet (MSC_ExecConfig_TypeDef * execConfig)

Set MSC code execution configuration.

MSC_ErasePage#

MSC_RAMFUNC_DECLARATOR MSC_Status_TypeDef MSC_ErasePage (uint32_t * startAddress)

Erases a page in flash memory.

For IAR Embedded Workbench, Simplicity Studio and GCC 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.

Returns

• Returns the status of erase operation, MSC_Status_TypeDef

  *   mscReturnOk - Operation completed successfully.
  *   mscReturnInvalidAddr - Operation tried to erase a non-flash area.
  *   flashReturnLocked - MSC registers are locked or the operation tried to
  *                       erase a locked area of the flash.
  *   flashReturnTimeOut - Operation timed out.
  * 

MSC_WriteWord#

MSC_RAMFUNC_DECLARATOR MSC_Status_TypeDef MSC_WriteWord (uint32_t * address, void const * data, uint32_t numBytes)

Writes data to flash memory.

Write data must be aligned to words and contain a number of bytes that is divisible by four. Note

• It is recommended to erase the flash page before performing a write.

For IAR Embedded Workbench, Simplicity Studio and GCC 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.

The Flash memory is organized into 64-bit wide double-words. Each 64-bit double-word can be written only twice using burst write operation between erasing cycles. The user's application must store data in RAM to sustain burst write operation.

EFR32XG21 RevC is not able to program every word twice before the next erase.

Returns

• Returns the status of the write operation, MSC_Status_TypeDef

  *   flashReturnOk - Operation completed successfully.
  *   flashReturnInvalidAddr - Operation tried to write to a non-flash area.
  *   flashReturnLocked - MSC registers are locked or the operation tried to
  *                       program a locked area of the flash.
  *   flashReturnTimeOut - Operation timed out.
  * 

MSC_MassErase#

SL_RAMFUNC_DECLARATOR MSC_Status_TypeDef MSC_MassErase (void )

Erase the entire Flash in one operation.

Note

• This command will erase the entire contents of the device. Use with care, both a debug session and all contents of the flash will be lost. The lock bit, MLW will prevent this operation from executing and might prevent a successful mass erase.

Returns

• Returns the status of the operation.

MSC_WriteWordDma#

MSC_Status_TypeDef MSC_WriteWordDma (int ch, uint32_t * address, const void * data, uint32_t numBytes)

Writes data to flash memory using the DMA.

This function uses the LDMA to write data to the internal flash memory. This is the fastest way to write data to the flash and should be used when the application wants to achieve write speeds like they are reported in the datasheet. Note that copying data from flash to flash will be slower than copying from RAM to flash. So the source data must be in RAM in order to see the write speeds similar to the datasheet numbers.

Note

• This function requires that the LDMA and LDMAXBAR clock is enabled.

Returns

• Returns the status of the write operation.

  *   flashReturnOk - The operation completed successfully.
  *   flashReturnInvalidAddr - The operation tried to erase a non-flash area.
  * 

mscEccReadWriteExistingPio#

static void mscEccReadWriteExistingPio (const MSC_EccBank_Typedef * eccBank)

Read and write existing values in RAM (for ECC initialization).

This function uses core to load and store the existing data values in the given RAM bank.

mscEccBankInit#

static void mscEccBankInit (const MSC_EccBank_Typedef * eccBank, uint32_t dmaChannels)

Initialize ECC for a given memory bank.

This function initializes ECC for a given memory bank which is specified with the MSC_EccBank_Typedef structure input parameter.

mscEccBankDisable#

static void mscEccBankDisable (const MSC_EccBank_Typedef * eccBank)

Disable ECC for a given memory bank.

This function disables ECC for a given memory bank which is specified with the MSC_EccBank_Typedef structure input parameter.

MSC_EccConfigSet#

void MSC_EccConfigSet (MSC_EccConfig_TypeDef * eccConfig)

Configure Error Correcting Code (ECC).

This function configures ECC support according to the configuration input parameter. If the user requests enabling ECC for a given RAM bank this function will initialize ECC memory (syndromes) for the bank by reading and writing the existing values in memory. I.e. all data is preserved. The initialization process runs in a critical section disallowing interrupts and thread scheduling, and will consume a considerable amount of clock cycles. Therefore the user should carefully assess where to call this function. The user can consider to increase the clock frequency in order to reduce the execution time. This function makes use of 2 DMA channels to move data to/from RAM in an efficient way. The user can select which 2 DMA channels to use in order to avoid conflicts with the application. However the user must make sure that no other DMA operations takes place while this function is executing. If the application has been using the DMA controller prior to calling this function, the application will need to reinitialize DMA registers after this function has completed.

Note

• This function protects the ECC initialization procedure from interrupts and other threads by using a critical section (defined by em_core.h) When running on RTOS the user may need to override CORE_EnterCritical CORE_ExitCritical which are declared as 'SL_WEAK' in em_core.c.

MSC_DmemPortMapSet#

void MSC_DmemPortMapSet (MSC_DmemMaster_TypeDef master, uint8_t port)

Set MPAHBRAM port to use to access DMEM.

This function configures which MPAHBRAM slave port is used to access DMEM. Depending on the use case, it might improve performance by spreading the load over the N ports (N is usually 2 or 4), instead of starving because a port is used by another master.

MSC_PortSetPriority#

void MSC_PortSetPriority (MSC_PortPriority_TypeDef portPriority)

Set MPAHBRAM port priority for arbitration when multiple concurrent transactions to DMEM.

This function configures which MPAHBRAM slave port will have priority. The AHB port arbitration default scheme, round-robin arbitration, is selected when portPriority == mscPortPriorityNone.

Note

• Doing this can potentially starve the others AHB port(s).

MSC_PortGetCurrentPriority#

MSC_PortPriority_TypeDef MSC_PortGetCurrentPriority (void )

Get MPAHBRAM port arbitration priority selection.

This function returns the AHBHOST slave with raised priority.

Returns

• Returns the AHBHOST slave port given priority or none.

MSC_LockGetLocked#
