KL17Z Flash Security Protection FPROT and FSEC using fsl_flash KDS component

sys — Thu, 22 Oct 2015 07:01:16 GMT

Hi all,

I'm using MKL17Z256VFM4 on KDS for our project: for data storage I'm using the high-level component "fsl_flash" provided with Kinetis SDK driver.

I have this question: how should I do to protect the whole code-flash area? I mean, how to set FPROT register from Flash Configuration Field, that then affects FTFA_FSEC register?

On datasheet I read that it has to be set in the boot/reset sequence, so I think not in main.c module, am I right?

But, I dont see any way to pre-set the FPROT register directly from Processor Expert.

I see this setting in the low-level "Init_FTFL", but I cannot set it in the high-level one, and I dont want to have to use low-level component.

How can I do?

Thanks in advance!

Sandro

Hi Sandro,

I'd highly recommend that you can refer to the flash_demo for FRDMKL27Z in the KSDK 1.2 which illustrates various operations of the flash.

Please go for download the KSDK through the link as below.

Thanks for the answer Ping,

I just tooked a look at the flash_demo before asking the question...but I didnt find what I'm looking for.

In the demo, there is examples on how to UNPROTECT the flash, programming the FSEC register.

What I dont understand is how I PROTECT the flash before reset, i.e. how to set the FSEC register during binary download (so "directly" on building the .elf file)

Just to be clear: on MKE02Z Processor Expert (Cpu component) there is the Flash Configuration Field options...is there a similar way to do it?

Sorry for the mess,

thanks in advance

Sandro

Hi Sandro,

I've also created a demo for KL17, finally I found out a easily way to set the FTFA_FPROTn register just as the Fig 1 illustrates.

Hope it helps,

Have a great day!
