serial bootloader
PostPosted: Sat Mar 28, 2020 8:32 am     Reply with quote
Hello,

I'm using CCS's serial bootloader with pic18F45K22.
How to erase user program memory before load new hex file?

Something like this?

Code:
 

      printf("\r\nErasing flash on: %s!\r\n",getenv("DEVICE"));
     
      for(i=(LOADER_END+1); i<getenv("PROGRAM_MEMORY"); i+=getenv("FLASH_ERASE_SIZE")){   
         erase_program_eeprom(i);   // Erase User Flash memory!
      }



Best Regards!

You don't.

The normal write_program_memory function, will erase a
page when you write to the first byte in a page.
Quote:

Whenever this function is about to write to a location that is a multiple of FLASH_ERASE_SIZE then an erase is performed on the whole block.

The bootloader has a little extra code to deal with some special conditions,
but normally relies on this.

Hi Mr.Ttelmah,

I'm searching method for calculating checksum for bootloader region and application region. That was purpose for clearing all application mem. region.

Thanks,
