Register 9: Flash Program/Erase Key (FLPEKEY), offset 0x03C
This register provides a mechanism for protection from inadvertent writes to flash by supplying a
16-bit key . If the
KEY
value in the
BOOTCFG
register is 0, then this value is used as the 16-bit key
in place of 0xA442 in the
FMC/FMC2
registers for committed flash writes.
This can be used for cases where a new image is downloaded and the first word of the new image
has the 16-bit key value to be used for that product. This 16-bit key is used to allow the write to
FMC
or
FMC2
to take place.
