EEPROM is erased while reprogramming.

Is there anyway to preserve EEPROM while reprograming with the BDM? I have tried commenting out the mass erase EEPROM commands in the CMD file, but EEPROM still seems to get erased. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ben

My FPP file says that EEPROM is mapped to 2000 - 2FFF, In code, the EEPROM is mapped to 800 - FFF. Could this be the problem? I am using a MC9S12DG128B. Is there a way to change the FPP file?

Thanks,

Ben

What happens if you comment out the EEPROM segment in the .prm file? Since you can use that file to force code segments into specific memory locations, it seems reasonable that if a segment is defined there but not used, the loader should assume that you want it to be blank.

Hello

I assume you are using a Multilink or Cyclone Pro cable for debugging.
If you are using CodeWarrior for HC12 V4.5

Am I right?

If this is the case you can use the command AEFSKIPERASING to prevent EEPROM to be erased when you download your application to FLASH.

Extract from Notes_debugger_icd12.txt:
"The new command AEFSKIPERASING has been created to specify non volatile memory blocks to protect from mass erasing at application loading.
The command should be placed in a "Startup" command file.
The command syntax is:
FLASH AEFSKIPERASING <blockNo>
with blockNo = {number["-"number][","]}

For example, "FLASH AEFSKIPERASING 0,2-4" avoids erasing flash blocks 0,2,3,4.

Reminder: Flash (and non volatile memory) modules and numbers can be displayed when typing the FLASH command in the Command window. Also the Flash/Non Volatile Memory dialog list displays all modules starting from block number 0."

If you are using an earlier version of the tools, check the release notes for ICD12 to make sure the command is supported there.

The release notes can be found in {Install}\Release_Notes\HC12\CW_Tools\HC12\Notes_debugger_icd12.txt.

I hope this helps.

Hi, did anyone get this to work?

I know I don't.

After setting "FLASH AEFSKIPERASING 3,5" I get :

FP: The ERASE command is not performed for the EEPROM_C00 flash module (AEFSKIPERASING) => Skipped.
FP: The ERASE command is not performed for the EEPROM_800 flash module (AEFSKIPERASING) => Skipped.

Look OK, But the blocks are erased anyway.

Data written stays for a reset but not a reload.

Any ideas?

My Command line output: ( Using EEPROM_800 )

!// Before programming the flash, the commands written below will be executed
!flash

MCU clock speed: 1994000 Hz
Block Module Name Address Range Status

My fault! Forgot to skip erasing module "4 ALL_EPAGES FC0800 -FF0BFF"

Setting "FLASH AEFSKIPERASING 3,4,5" makes life a bit easier.
