Chapter 6: LPC84x Flash signature generator
6.4.2 Flash signature start address register
6.4.3 Flash signature stop address register
6.4.4 Flash signature generation result register
The signature generation result register returns the flash signature produced by the
embedded signature generator.
The generated flash signature can be used to verify the flash memory contents. The
generated signature can be compared with an expected signature and thus makes saves
time and code space. The method for generating the signature is described in
.
6.4.5 Flash module signature status register
The read-only FMSTAT register provides a means of determining when signature
generation has completed. Completion of signature generation can be checked by polling
the SIG_DONE bit in FMSTAT. SIG_DONE should be cleared via the FMSTATCLR
register before starting a signature generation operation, otherwise the status might
indicate completion of a previous operation.
