Embedded Flash
Flash Overview Flash AT91SAM7S256 organized 1024 pages bytes. 262,144 bytes organized 32-bit words. Flash AT91SAM7S128 organized pages bytes. 131,072 bytes organized 32-bit words. Flash AT91SAM7S64 organized pages bytes. 65,536 bytes organized 32-bit words. Flash AT91SAM7S321/32 organized pages bytes. 32,768 bytes organized 32-bit words. Flash AT91SAM7S256/128 contains 256-byte write buffer, accessible through 32-bit interface. Flash AT91SAM7S64/321/32 contains 128-byte write buffer, accessible through 32-bit interface. Flash benefits from integration power reset cell from brownout detector. This prevents code corruption during power supply changes, even worst conditions. When Flash used (read write access), automatically placed into standby mode.
9.6.2
Embedded Flash Controller Embedded Flash Controller (EFC) manages accesses performed masters system. enables reading Flash writing write buffer. also contains User Interface, mapped within Memory Controller APB. User Interface allows: programming access parameters Flash (number wait states, timings, etc.) starting commands such full erase, page erase, page program, set, clear, etc. getting status last command getting error status programming interrupts last commands errors Embedded Flash Controller also provides dual 32-bit Prefetch Buffer that optimizes 16bit access Flash. This particularly efficient when processor running Thumb mode.
9.6.3
Lock Regions Embedded Flash Controller manages 16/8 lock bits protect 16/8 regions flash against inadvertent flash erasing programming commands. Table summarizes configuration five devices.

locked-regions erase program command occurs, command aborted trigs interrupt. bits software programmable through User Interface. command "Set Lock Bit" enables protection. command "Clear Lock Bit" unlocks lock region. Asserting ERASE clears lock bits, thus unlocking entire Flash. 9.6.4 Security Feature AT91SAM7S Series features security bit, based specific NVM-Bit. When security enabled, access Flash, either through interface through Fast Flash Programming Interface, forbidden. This ensures confidentiality code programmed Flash. This security only enabled, through Command "Set Security Bit" User Interface. Disabling security only achieved asserting ERASE after full flash erase performed. When security deactivated, accesses flash permitted. important note that assertion ERASE should always longer than ERASE integrates permanent pull-down, left unconnected during normal operation. However, safer connect directly final application. 9.6.5 Non-volatile Brownout Detector Control general purpose (GPNVM) bits used controlling brownout detector (BOD), that even after power loss, brownout detector operations remain their state. These GPNVM bits cleared respectively through commands "Clear General-purpose Bit" "Set General-purpose Bit" User Interface. GPNVM used brownout detector enable bit. Setting GPNVM enables BOD, clearing disables BOD. Asserting ERASE clears GPNVM thus disables brownout detector default. GPNVM used brownout reset enable signal reset controller. Setting GPNVM enables brownout reset when brownout detected, Clearing GPNVM disables brownout reset. Asserting ERASE disables brownout reset default. 9.6.6 Calibration Bits Eight bits used calibrate brownout detector voltage regulator. These bits factory configured cannot changed user. ERASE effect calibration bits.
Fast Flash Programming Interface
Fast Flash Programming Interface allows programming device through either serial JTAG interface through multiplexed fully-handshaked parallel port. allows gang-programming with market-standard industrial programmers. FFPI supports read, page program, page erase, full erase, lock, unlock protect commands. Fast Flash Programming Interface enabled Fast Programming Mode entered when pins tied high tied low.

Reset Controller based power-on reset cell brownout detector. gives status last reset, indicating whether power-up reset, software reset, user reset, watchdog reset brownout reset. addition, controls internal resets NRST open-drain output. allows shape signal NRST line, guaranteeing that length pulse meets requirement. Note that NRST used reset output signal external devices during power-off, brownout detector must activated. 10.2.1 Brownout Detector Power-on Reset AT91SAM7S Series embeds brownout detection circuit power-on reset cell. Both supplied with monitor VDDCORE. Both signals provided Flash prevent code corruption during power-up power-down sequences brownouts occur VDDCORE power supply. power-on reset cell limited-accuracy threshold around 1.5V. output remains during power-up until VDDCORE goes over this voltage level. This signal goes reset controller allows full re-initialization device. brownout detector monitors VDDCORE level during operation comparing fixed trigger level. secures system operations most difficult environments prevents code corruption case brownout VDDCORE. Only VDDCORE monitored, voltage drop VDDFLASH other power supply device cannot affect Flash. When brownout detector enabled VDDCORE decreases value below trigger level (Vbot-, defined Vbot hyst/2), brownout output immediately activated. When VDDCORE increases above trigger level (Vbot+, defined Vbot hyst/2), reset released. brownout detector only detects drop voltage VDDCORE stays below threshold voltage longer than about 1µs. threshold voltage hysteresis about ensure spike free brownout detection. typical value brownout detector threshold 1.68V with accuracy factory calibrated. brownout detector low-power, consumes less than static current. However, deactivated save static current. this case, consumes less than 1µA. deactivation configured through GPNVM Flash.

Functional Description
Periodic Interval Timer aims providing periodic interrupts operating systems. provides programmable overflow counter reset-on-read feature. built around counters: 20-bit CPIV counter 12-bit PICNT counter. Both counters work Master Clock /16. first 20-bit CPIV counter increments from programmable overflow value field Mode Register (PIT_MR). When counter CPIV reaches this value, resets increments Periodic Interval Counter, PICNT. status PITS Status Register (PIT_SR) rises triggers interrupt, provided interrupt enabled (PITIEN PIT_MR). Writing value PIT_MR does reset/restart counters. When CPIV PICNT values obtained reading Periodic Interval Value Register (PIT_PIVR), overflow counter (PICNT) reset PITS cleared, thus acknowledging interrupt. value PICNT gives number periodic intervals elapsed since last read PIT_PIVR. When CPIV PICNT values obtained reading Periodic Interval Image Register (PIT_PIIR), there effect counters CPIV PICNT, PITS. example, profiler read PIT_PIIR without clearing pending interrupt, whereas timer interrupt clears interrupt reading PIT_PIVR. enabled/disabled using PITEN PIT_MR register (disabled reset). PITEN only becomes effective when CPIV value Figure 16-2 illustrates counting. After Enable reset (PITEN= CPIV goes counting until value reached, then reset. restarts counting, only PITEN again. stopped when core enters debug state.

Watchdog Timer used prevent system lock-up software becomes trapped deadlock. supplied with VDDCORE. restarts with initial values processor reset. Watchdog built around 12-bit down counter, which loaded with value defined field Mode Register (WDT_MR). Watchdog Timer uses Slow Clock divided establish maximum Watchdog period seconds (with typical Slow Clock 32.768 kHz). After Processor Reset, value 0xFFF, corresponding maximum value counter with external reset generation enabled (field WDRSTEN after Backup Reset). This means that default Watchdog running reset, i.e., power-up. user must either disable setting WDDIS WDT_MR) does expect must reprogram meet maximum Watchdog period application requires. Watchdog Mode Register (WDT_MR) written only once. Only processor reset resets Writing WDT_MR register reloads timer with newly programmed mode parameters. normal operation, user reloads Watchdog regular intervals before timer underflow occurs, writing Control Register (WDT_CR) with WDRSTT Watchdog counter then immediately reloaded from WDT_MR restarted, Slow Clock divider reset restarted.

Internal Memory Area first bytes Internal Memory Area contain processor exception vectors, particular, Reset Vector address 0x0. Before execution remap command, on-chip Flash mapped into Internal Memory Area that ARM7TDMI reaches executable instruction contained Flash. After remap command, internal SRAM address 0x0020 0000 mapped into Internal Memory Area memory mapped into Internal Memory Area accessible both original location address 0x0.
19.3.3
Remap Command After execution, Remap Command causes Internal SRAM accessed through Internal Memory Area vectors (Reset, Abort, Data Abort, Prefetch Abort, Undefined Instruction, Interrupt, Fast Interrupt) mapped from address address 0x20, Remap Command allows user redefine dynamically these vectors under software control. Remap Command accessible through Memory Controller User Interface writing MC_RCR (Remap Control Register) field one. Remap Command cancelled writing MC_RCR field one, which acts toggling command. This allows easy debug user-defined boot sequence offering simple chip same configuration after reset.

19.3.4
Abort Status There three reasons abort occur: access undefined address access misaligned address. When abort occurs, signal sent back masters, regardless which generated access. However, only ARM7TDMI take abort signal into account, only under condition that generating access. Peripheral Controller does handle abort input signal. Note that connection represented Figure 19-1. facilitate debug fault analysis operating system, Memory Controller integrates Abort Status register set. full 32-bit wide abort address saved MC_AASR. Parameters access saved MC_ASR include: size request (field ABTSZ) type access, whether data read write, code fetch (field ABTTYP) whether access accessing undefined address (bit UNDADD) misaligned address (bit MISADD) source access leading last abort (bits MST0 MST1) whether abort occurred each master since last read register (bit SVMST0 SVMST1) unless this information loaded bits case Data Abort from processor, address data access stored. This useful, searching which address generated abort would require disassembling instructions full knowledge processor context. case Prefetch Abort, address have changed, prefetch abort pipelined processor. processor takes prefetch abort into account only read instruction executed probable that several aborts have occurred during this time. Thus, this case, preferable content Abort Link register processor.
19.3.5
Embedded Flash Controller Embedded Flash Controller added Memory Controller ensures interface Flash block with 32-bit internal bus. increases performance Thumb Mode Code Fetch with system 32-bit buffers. also manages with programming, erasing, locking unlocking sequences thanks full commands.
19.3.6
Misalignment Detector Memory Controller features Misalignment Detector that checks consistency accesses. each access, regardless master, size access bits address checked. type access word (32-bit) bits type access half-word (16-bit) abort returned master access cancelled. Note that accesses processor when fetching instructions checked. misalignments generally software bugs leading wrong pointer handling. These bugs particularly difficult detect debug phase. requested address saved Abort Status Register address instruction generating misalignment saved Abort Link Register processor, detection this kind software simplified.
