Embedded Flash Organization
The Enhanced Embedded Flash Controller (EEFC) ensures the interface of the Flash block with
the 32-bit internal bus. Its 128-bit wide memory interface increases performance. It also man-
ages the programming, erasing, locking and unlocking sequences of the Flash using a full set of
commands. One of the commands returns the embedded Flash descriptor definition that informs
the system about the Flash organization, thus making the software generic.
The Enhanced Embedded Flash Controller (EEFC) is continuously clocked. The Power Man-
agement Controller has no effect on its behavior.
The Enhanced Embedded Flash Controller (EEFC) interrupt line is connected to the System
Controller internal source of the Advanced Interrupt Controller. Using the Enhanced Embedded
Flash Controller (EEFC) interrupt requires the AIC to be programmed first. The EEFC interrupt is
generated only on FRDY bit rising. To know the Flash status, EEFC Flash Status Register
should be read each time a system interrupt (SYSIRQ, periph ID = 0) occurs.
The embedded Flash interfaces directly with the 32-bit internal bus. The embedded Flash is
composed of:
The embedded Flash size, the page size, the lock regions organization and GPNVM bits defini-
tion are described in the product definition section. The Enhanced Embedded Flash Controller
(EEFC) returns a descriptor of the Flash controlled after a get descriptor command issued by the
application (see
