Unsecure S12ZVC

[yuntianlu]

Hello, All

        I am having trouble to unsecure S12ZVC controller using the ERASE_FLASH (0x95/d) command in BDC.

        I tried ERASE_FLASH command on both secured and unsecured controllers, it doesn't work. The command was issued on BKGD pin through FPGA.  

        I am able to read the FSTAT register on unsecured controllers. The error flag ACCER in the FSTAT is set after ERASE_FLASH command is issued. Not sure if that is the reason. Not able to read the FSTAT register on secured controllers.

        Any suggestion or  code sample will be helpful.       

Thank you

Hi yuntianlu,

Unfortunately I don’t have direct experience with ERASE_FLASH command. However chapter 3.4.4.19 ERASE_FLASH in RM mentioned several conditions:

1. This command must be sending twice in succession. Delay between these commands must be longer than 16 clock cycles (DLY) and shorter than 512 BDCSI clock cycles.
2. No ACK pulse is generated.
3. MCU must run on default clock settings (bus clock = 6.25MHz).
4. After calling ERASE_FLASH command we have to check BDCCSR_ERASE bit in wait loop until erase/unsecure finished.

I hope it helps you.

Have a great day,
RadekS

Hello, RadekS

       Thank you for the response.

       I think my problem is the relay bounce at power up. Once I had a power on delay, everything works.

Have a great day,
