Flash Writing
« on: October 17, 2010, 10:48:25 am »
Hello,
KnightOS's flash writing routines are not working, and I need some help with them.  Here is the code, any help would be appriciated:
Code: [Select]
WriteFlashByte:
    push hl
    push af
    ld bc, ProgramRoutineEnd - ProgramFlashRoutine
    call AllocateExecutableMem ; Allocates executable RAM, accepts BC as size, outputs hl is pointer to free RAM
    ex hl, de
    push de
    ld hl, ProgramFlashRoutine
    ldir
    pop de
    pop af
    pop hl
    ex hl, de
    ld bc, WriteFlashRet
    push bc
    ;di
    ;halt
    jp (hl)
    WriteFlashRet:
    ret
ProgramFlashRoutine:
; a = value, hl = address
; Flash program sequence
; This is being done according to how the datasheet says it should be done.
; The standard interrupt must not trigger during this sequence or the flash chip
; will not get the write command.
; At 6MHz, one clock cycle will be 167ns
; At 15MHz, one clock cycle will be 67ns
    ex hl, de
    push af
    push hl
    di
    ; reset bus (not needed by the books)
    ;ld    a, 0F0h
    ;ld    (4000h), a
    ; First bus cycle---unlock
    ld    a, 0AAh
    ld    (4AAAh), a
    ; Second bus cycle---unlock
    ld    a, 55h
    ld    (4555h), a
    ; Third bus cycle---write command
    ld    a, 0A0h
    ld    (4AAAh), a
    ; Fourth bus cycle---program data
    pop    hl
    pop    af
    ld    (hl), a
; Wait for data to be good
; "During the Embedded Program Algorithm, an attempt to read the devices will
; produce the complement of the data last written to DQ7. Upon completion of the
; Embedded Program Algorithm, an attempt to read the device will produce the
; true data last written to DQ7"
; "DQ5 will indicate if the program or erase time has exceeded the specified
; limits (internal pulse count).  If this occurs, reset the device with command
; sequence."---Fujitsu documentation
programWaitLoop:
    ld    b, a
    ld    a, 0FDh        ; This checks for the CLEAR key.
    out    (1), a        ; If pressed, it aborts.
    in    a, (1)
    cp    0BFh
    jr    z, abortProgram
    xor    (hl)
    bit    7, a
    ld    a, b
    jr    z, programDone
    bit    5, (hl)
    jr    z, programWaitLoop
abortProgram:
    ld    a, 0F0h
    ld    (4000h), a
    ret
programDone:
    ei
    ret
ProgramRoutineEnd:
EDIT: Figured it out, my test data was setting bits x.x

Thanks.  Now I need to erase sectors and make the filesystem KFS compliant and the kernel will be done :)

Nice to see the 'Kernelstage' near completion! I hope you will release some info about the kernel once it is done?

Nice, some code to steal... er I mean glad you got it figured out. I remember some flash unlocking discussion before at http://ourl.ca/3587 and http://ourl.ca/4818 but I haven't checked the topics in a long while

Ah, flash unlocking is easy, this is actual raw flash control.  This code writes to flash.

DJ, actually, when you write your own OS, you don't even have to do any hacks to unlock flash. You are the OS, you are TI, you can do whatever you want. As long as the code is on page $7D, just a few commands and flash is unlocked.
