Hi,
I'm using the example code provided with AN4258 to learn how to implement a serial bootloader on an MC9S12XET256. The question I have is about a discrepancy in the memory layout between the datasheet and what's in the code.
The datasheet indicates that the S12XET256 (mask xM53J) has two PFlash blocks: one beginning at global address 0x78_000 and the other beginning at 0x7E_0000, both 128K. The datasheet says there is no PFlash from 0x7A_0000 to 0x7D_FFFF.
The example firmware from AN4258, in the EraseFlash() function in main.c, proceeds to erase a portion of the block starting at 0x7E_0000, the entire block starting at 0x7A0000 and the entire block at 0x780000. To me, that erase at 0x7A0000 shouldn't happen.
Is this an error in the code? If not, what am I missing in the datasheet or why is it being done? I've copied the block of code below, but you can download the project here.
Thanks.
