Read Flash MC9S08QE8

[DavidoBG]

I found a sample code to read flash octet. Here under the sample code

// Read the content of a memory address
char flash_read(unsigned int address)
{
  unsigned char *pointer;
  pointer = (char*) address;
  return (*pointer);
}

I don't understand why there is no action, no register modification to read a contain of specific adress.

For me, the second line of the previous function do: pointer receiver adress of adress parameter (for example E000 = first octet of flash. That all!!! But there is not flash register has been modified before!!!?

Somebody have any explanation about this sample

Thanks

Hello David,

Your function seems to work correctly for me under simulation.  I called the function using the following test code -

unsigned char value;

value = flash_read( 0xFFFE);

The upper byte of the reset vector was returned.
