Detailed Description

Memory System Controller API.

Contains functions to control the MSC, primarily the Flash. Users can perform Flash memory write and erase operations, as well as optimization of the CPU instruction fetch interface for the application. Available instruction fetch features depends on the MCU or SoC family, but features such as instruction pre-fetch, cache, and configurable branch prediction are typically available.

Note: Flash wait-state configuration is handled by CMU module. When core clock configuration is changed by a call to functions such as CMU_ClockSelectSet() or CMU_HFRCOBandSet() , then Flash wait-state configuration is also updated.

MSC resets into a safe state. To initialize the instruction interface to recommended settings:

MSC_ExecConfig_TypeDef execConfig = MSC_EXECCONFIG_DEFAULT ;

MSC_ExecConfigSet (&execConfig);

Note: The optimal configuration is highly application dependent. Performance benchmarking is supported by most families. See MSC_StartCacheMeasurement() and MSC_GetCacheMeasurement() for more details.

Support for Flash write and erase runs from RAM by default. This code may be allocated to Flash by defining EM_MSC_RUN_FROM_FLASH .

Note: Flash erase may add ms of delay to interrupt latency if executing from Flash.

Flash write and erase operations are supported by MSC_WriteWord() , MSC_WriteWordFast(), MSC_ErasePage() , and MSC_MassErase(). Fast write is not supported for EFM32G and mass erase is supported for MCU and SoC families with larger Flash sizes.

Note: MSC_Init() must be called prior to any Flash write or erase operation.

The following steps are necessary to perform a page erase and write:

       uint32_t * userDataPage = (uint32_t *)
       
        USERDATA_BASE
       
       ;
      
       uint32_t userData[] = {
      
       0x01020304,
      
       0x05060708
      
       };
      
        MSC_ErasePage
       
       (userDataPage);
      
        MSC_WriteWord
       
       (userDataPage, userData,
       
        sizeof
       
       (userData));

Data Structures
struct	MSC_ExecConfig_TypeDef

Macros
#define	EM_MSC_RUN_FROM_FLASH
	By compiling with define EM_MSC_RUN_FROM_FLASH, functions performing erase or write operations 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, code for Flash operations will be copied into RAM at startup.

#define	MSC_EXECCONFIG_DEFAULT

#define	MSC_PROGRAM_TIMEOUT 10000000ul
	Timeout used while waiting for Flash to become ready after a write. This number indicates the number of iterations to perform before issuing a timeout.

#define	MSC_RAMFUNC_DECLARATOR
	Expands to SL_RAMFUNC_DECLARATOR if EM_MSC_RUN_FROM_FLASH is undefined and to nothing if EM_MSC_RUN_FROM_FLASH is defined.

#define	MSC_RAMFUNC_DEFINITION_BEGIN
	Expands to SL_RAMFUNC_DEFINITION_BEGIN if EM_MSC_RUN_FROM_FLASH is undefined and to nothing if EM_MSC_RUN_FROM_FLASH is defined.

#define	MSC_RAMFUNC_DEFINITION_END
	Expands to SL_RAMFUNC_DEFINITION_END if EM_MSC_RUN_FROM_FLASH is undefined and to nothing if EM_MSC_RUN_FROM_FLASH is defined.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define EM_MSC_RUN_FROM_FLASH

By compiling with define EM_MSC_RUN_FROM_FLASH, functions performing erase or write operations 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, code for Flash operations will be copied into RAM at startup.

Note: This define is not present by default. The MSC controller API will run from RAM by default.

#define MSC_EXECCONFIG_DEFAULT

Value:

         { \
        
         false, \
        
         true, \

#define MSC_PROGRAM_TIMEOUT 10000000ul

Timeout used while waiting for Flash to become ready after a write. This number indicates the number of iterations to perform before issuing a timeout.

Note: Timeout is set very large (in the order of 100x longer than necessary). This is to avoid any corner case.

Function Documentation

MSC_RAMFUNC_DEFINITION_BEGIN MSC_Status_TypeDef MSC_ErasePage ( uint32_t * startAddress )

Erases a page in flash memory.

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 IDE, Rowley IDE, SimplicityStudio IDE, Atollic IDE, and ARM GCC IDE, this is achieved automatically by using attributes in the function proctype. For Keil uVision IDE, define a section called "ram_code" and place this manually in the project's scatter file.

Parameters

[in] startAddress A pointer to the flash page to erase. Must be aligned to the beginning of the page boundary.

Returns

Returns the status of erase operation, MSC_Status_TypeDef

*   mscReturnOk - The operation completed successfully.
*   mscReturnInvalidAddr - The operation tried to erase a non-flash area.
*   mscReturnLocked - The operation tried to erase a locked area of the flash.
*   mscReturnTimeOut - The operation timed out waiting for the flash operation
*       to complete.

		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.

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

Parameters

[in]	`address`	A pointer to the flash word to write to. Must be aligned to words.
[in]	`data`	Data to write to flash.
[in]	`numBytes`	A number of bytes to write from flash. NB: Must be divisible by four.

Returns

Returns the status of the write operation.

*   flashReturnOk - The operation completed successfully.
*   flashReturnInvalidAddr - The operation tried to erase a non-flash area.
*   flashReturnLocked - The operation tried to erase a locked area of the Flash.
*   flashReturnTimeOut - The operation timed out waiting for the flash operation
*       to complete, or the MSC module timed out waiting for the software to write
*       the next word into the DWORD register.
