Programming the Flash

Before programming the Flash a Chip Erase must be performed. See Performing Chip Erase.

  1. Enter JTAG instruction PROG_COMMANDS.
  2. Enable Flash write using programming instruction 2a.
  3. Load address high byte using programming instruction 2b.
  4. Load address low byte using programming instruction 2c.
  5. Load data using programming instructions 2d, 2e and 2f.
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all instruction words in the page.
  7. Write the page using programming instruction 2g.
  8. Poll for Flash write complete using programming instruction 2h, or wait for tWLRH (refer to table Parallel Programming Characteristics, VCC = 5V ±10% in chapter Parallel Programming Characteristics).
  9. Repeat steps 3 to 7 until all data have been programmed.

A more efficient data transfer can be achieved using the PROG_PAGELOAD instruction:

  1. Enter JTAG instruction PROG_COMMANDS.
  2. Enable Flash write using programming instruction 2a.
  3. Load the page address using programming instructions 2b and 2c. PCWORD (refer to Command Byte Bit Coding table in Signal Names section) is used to address within one page and must be written as 0.
  4. Enter JTAG instruction PROG_PAGELOAD.
  5. Load the entire page by shifting in all instruction words in the page, starting with the LSB of the first instruction in the page and ending with the MSB of the last instruction in the page.
  6. Enter JTAG instruction PROG_COMMANDS.
  7. Write the page using programming instruction 2g.
  8. Poll for Flash write complete using programming instruction 2h, or wait for tWLRH (refer to table Parallel Programming Characteristics, VCC = 5V ±10% in chapter Parallel Programming Characteristics).
  9. Repeat steps 3 to 8 until all data have been programmed.
