Function
An unexpected Vacant Memory Access Flag (VMAIFG) can be triggered
Description
An unexpected Vacant Memory Access Flag (VMAIFG) can be triggered, if a PC-
modifying instruction (e.g. - ret, push, call, pop, jmp, br) is fetched from the last addresses
(last 4 or 8 byte) of a memory (e.g.- FLASH, RAM, FRAM) that is not contiguous to a
higher, valid section on the memory map.
In debug mode using breakpoints the last 8 bytes are affected.
In free running mode the last 4 bytes are affected.
Workaround
Edit the linker command file to make the last 4 or 8 bytes of affected memory sections
unavailable, to avoid PC-modifying instructions on these locations.
Remaining instructions or data can still be stored on these locations.

Category
Functional
Function
Corrupted write access to 20-bit DMA registers
Description
When a 20-bit wide write to a DMA address register (DMAxSA or DMAxDA) is interrupted
by a DMA transfer, the register contents may be unpredictable.
Workaround
1. Design the application to guarantee that no DMA access interrupts 20-bit wide
accesses to the DMA address registers.
