S32K311 UTest Programming: RWE Error and Crash During Programming

Enoch_D — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 11:40:12 GMT

I am working on UTest programming on the S32K311 Microcontroller, and I am encountering a Read-While-Write Error (RWE) along with a controller crash during flash programming.

Issue:
After triggering the UTest programming sequence:

The controller jumps to the default handler (crash)
The RWE (Read While Write Error) flag is set

Context:
Application is executing from PFlash @ 0x00480000
UTest programming is initiated while running from PFlash
The actual trigger function (EHV set + polling) is executed from RAM

Implementation Flow:
1. Initialization & Preparation (FLASH_gSetPublicKey_Prepare)
Unlock UTest sector: PFLASH.PFCBLKU_SPELOCK[0].R &= ~(1U << 0);
Reset operation mode bits:EHV = 0,PGM = 0,ERS = 0
Clear status flags
Load target address: PFLASH.PFCPGM_PEADR_L.R = 0x1B000100U;
Load data into flash registers:
for (i = 0U; i < FLASH_lNumOfWords; i++)
{
FLASH.DATA[i].R = FLASH_pSrc[i];
}
Enable program mode: FLASH.MCR.B.PGM = 1U;

2. Programming Execution (from RAM) (FLASH_gSetPublicKey_Trigger)
Start programming: FLASH.MCR.B.EHV = 1U;
Poll until completion: Wait for DONE = 1
Stop programming:
FLASH.MCR.B.EHV = 0U;
FLASH.MCR.B.PGM = 0U;
Re-lock UTest sector

Observations:
Even though the trigger function runs from RAM, the system still:
Encounters RWE error & Jumps to default handler

Based on the above flow, I would appreciate if you could help identify the exact cause of the RWE fault and suggest the necessary corrections to ensure reliable UTest programming.

Thanks.

Do you have disabled interrupts? Also flash prefetching and cache needs to be disabled as speculative or prefetch access to flash block 0 can occur what is same block as UTEST.
