Minimum amount of memory bytes which can be Written/Erased for Emulated EEPROM

[pranavpathak]

Dear All,

Can you please tell me, how can I decide, what is the minimum size of a memory that I can write or erase without disturbing the data in other memory locations ?

I have worked on Emulated EEPROM for MPC5744P. For this development I had made use of AUTOSAR stack, hence I did not come across this query. But now when I think of it, how can we determine that we can write these many bytes in Emulated EEPROM. eeprom eeprom_emulation flash memory mpc574xp eeprom; memory map

Hi,

the smallest amount of memory we can erase is a block. See the Table 5-4 on page 166 in RM:

http://www.nxp.com/files/32bit/doc/ref_manual/MPC5744PRM.pdf

The size varies from 16KB to 256KB.

The smallest amount of memory we can program is one double-word (64 bits). That's because the ECC is handled on 64bit boundary. Read the chapter "32.4.1.2 Program" in RM for more details.

Read-while-write is supported between partitions. Once one partition is being modified (erase or program operation is executed), we can access other partitions.

If you use EEPROM Emulation drivers (http://www.nxp.com/files/run_time_software/device_driver/MPC5xxx_EEE_DRIVER.exe) then, as you know, you can select fixed or variable length record scheme and you can select the size of records in bytes as needed and the drivers manage everything internally.
