Well, After almost drowning in a sea of #ifndefined and #defines (good grief!!) and after almost getting lost in a forest of NV_ram structres, function pointers and header files...the 'Update_NV RAM' functions from appnote 2770 **DID NOT WORK** to save my updated MAC network address in flash.
I tried then the 'Flash bean' from Processor Expert, but faced a mountain of conflicts with the .prm files and other things of the sort. so that had to be abandoned as well.
-BUT FINALLY HERE IT IS, I wrote these two small funtions that will let you save the few bytes of your network ID in flash (cause that's all you need in a Zigbee application!!).
The trick to this is to copy the critical flash instructions to RAM and execute them from there, because the flash enters a high voltage mode when erasing or programming bytes, so no code can run from there simoultaneously. So the function "Flash_Command" here just copies the "high voltage" function into a little RAM array and jumps to execute from it, where the actual flash command is triggered, and then we exit when the high voltage operation is finally over. is that easy or what?
All YOU have to do, is copy and paste this code into you program, there's no nasty file or memory allocation dependencies with this 
, just make sure the globally declared things are placed on top of your program, where all global stuff goes of course.
, just make sure the globally declared things are placed on top of your program, where all global stuff goes of course.How to use it then:
//Erase the desired page -in the 13213, 13214 there is free flash between $1080 to $1200, use that:
Flash_Command(0x40, 1080, 0); //this erases that page
//Now program a byte (0x55 for example) into address 1082 for example:
Flash_Command(0x20, 1082, 0x55); //this puts 0x55 in $1082
//repeat for any other bytes that make your network ID.
NOTE: of course don't program the same byte address more than once without erasing the page first!!
Any questions, let me know...
