SAM4S Series [Preliminary]
19. Enhanced Embedded Flash Controller (EEFC)
19.1
Description
The Enhanced Embedded Flash Controller (EEFC) ensures the interface of the Flash block with
the 32-bit internal bus.
Its 128-bit or 64-bit wide memory interface increases performance. It also manages the pro-
gramming, erasing, locking and unlocking sequences of the Flash using a full set of commands.
One of the commands returns the embedded Flash descriptor definition that informs the system
about the Flash organization, thus making the software generic.
