3.7 Flash register description
Read registers
To read all internal registers of the memory interface, the user must read at the register
addresses. The content is available immediately (no wait state is necessary to read
registers). If the user tries to read the FLASH_ACR register after modifying the number of
wait states, the content will be available when the change takes effect (when no read is
done in the NVM memory, so the number of wait states is changed).
When no register is selected or when a wrong address is sent to the memory interface, a
zero value is sent as an answer. No error is generated.
When the master sends a request to read 8 or 16 bits, the memory interface returns the
corresponding part of the register on the data output bus. For example, if a register content
is 0x12345678 and the master sends a request to read the second byte, the output will be
0x34343434 (because 0x34 is the content of the second register byte when starting to count
bytes from zero). Similarly, if the master sends a request to read half-word zero of the
previous register, the output will be 0x56785678.
Write to registers
In the configuration registers of the memory interface, there are two types of bits:
• the bits that can be written to directly
• the bits needing a particular sequence to unlock.
To know which category a bit belongs to, see the next sections where every bit is explained
in details.
When it is possible to write directly to a register or a key-register, the user must write the
expected value at the register address. If the address is not correct, no error is generated. If
the user tries to modify a read-only register, no error is generated and the modify operation
does not take any effect. It is possible to write registers by byte, half-word and word.
When an unlock sequence is necessary, the correct values to use are given.
