5 Advanced User Information
This section provides advanced information for successful operation
of the nanoMODUL-164 with the Keil tool chain.
5.1 FlashTools
5.1.1 FlashTools for DOS
Flash is a highly functional means of storing non-volatile data. One of
its advantages is the possibility of on-board programming.
Programming tools for the Flash device are delivered with the
nanoMODUL-164 in the form a set of executable and binary files to
run under DOS. This tools make use of the Bootstrap mode to transfer
executable code to the nanoMODUL-164 that, in turn, download user
code into the Flash. Additionally, the re-programmable Flash device
on the nanoMODUL-164 enables easy update of user code and the
target application in which the nanoMODULl-164 has been
implemented.
Currently the nanoMODUL-164 can be populat with three different
sized Flash devices: a 29F200 with 256 KB, a 29F400 with 512 KB or
a 29F800 with 1 MB.
FlashTools always uses the Bootstrap mode to transfer the required
microcontroller firmware to the nanoMODUL-164. Hence, there is no
restriction in using the Flash memory for storing user code.
Before Flash programming FlashTools will adjust the internal Chip
Select Unit and the bus configuration of the microcontroller during
the Bootstrap download. This results in the following programming
memory model:
♦
Flash addressable at 00:0000H-07:FFFFH
(up to 512 KB Flash)
♦
RAM addressable at 08:00000H-0F:FFFFH
(up to 512 MB RAM)
