EEDIV reg - Stewart Prince - Aug 4 10:42:00 2003

We're using the D60a and have taken our D60 code over directly. All
works fine, including programming of the EEPROM, but I recently read
this section over again and noticed the EEDIV registers. It says for an
8MHZ oscillator frequency, this register pain must have a value of
0X118. What does this register control? We have been erasing and
writing by simply waiting 10 msec. Is something different with the D60a?

Yes, the EEPROM has an AUTO programming mode which allows a hardware state
machine to program the EEPROM with no involvement from the CPU (after set
up of course). This process requires a constant time base, which is
provided by EEDIVH/L. You can ignore all of this, and continue to use the
old way of delaying 10 ms.

The same is not true for the FLASH. It is very different, and totally
incompatible with the D60 FLASH. I mention this because both the EEPROM
and FLASH differences are detailed in Appendix B of the D60A Technical Data
Manual, Rev 2. Sorry, I don't have a link, but there are also differences
in several other modules, like the ADC, and clock generator, to name a few.

You might refer to AN2400 as it has a very good discussion of both Flash and EEPROM on the HCS12 processors.

Re: EEDIV reg - Gordon Doughman - Aug 8 10:23:00 2003

Gary,

This is not correct. the EEDIV register must be programmed with the
proper value whether or not you are using the the 'automatic'
programming feature of the EEPROM. Here's the background, the EEPROM in
the D60A is really Flash, the same as the main memory Flash although it
is designed with a 4 byte erase sector. To allow byte programming of the
'EEPROM' so that D60 software would have to be changed as little as
possible, there is actually 4K of 'EEPROM' in the device and only 1 byte
of each sector is used.

Because the 'EEPROM' is actually Flash, the EEDIV register sets up the
'EEPROM' state machine clock for erasure & programming and MUST be
programmed with the proper value. Note that even when not using the
'automatic' mode, the state machine still performs all of the EE
erase/programming timing. The default value for the EEDIV register is
loaded from the EEPROM shadow row, so if the erase & programming
routines *appear* to be working, it could be that the factory programmed
a default value into the shadow row, but it may not be correct for all
applications.

Bottom line is, an application moving from a D60 to a D60A should be
modified to write the EEDIV register with the proper value for the clock
frequency the application is using.

Regards,
Gordon

Well, you're the expert, but in my defense, I was relying on section 8.6 of
the D60A Technical Data book, rev 2. It lists the programming steps
required when AUTO is clear, and doesn't say anything at all about EEDIV.
On the other hand, in reading that chapter again, I see that section 8.8
says to program EEDIV "before any EEPROM location can be programmed or
erased." But doesn't say why, nor does it mention the AUTO bit.

I guess silicon must be cheap, if you can do that. I remember when any
company would have been thrilled to offer 4K of EEPROM, and we would have
dealt with the issues of altering existing programs.

The data book makes it sound like not using the AUTO mode is exactly like
the HC11 program mode. Thanks for the clarification.

I also have been using the direct mode in the D60A with a 10ms
programming and erasing time and it's been working. Just lucky, I
guess. Now I'll program the EEDIV registers and use the auto mode. Is
there a time savings using this technique?

Re: EEDIV reg - Gordon Doughman - Aug 27 15:05:00 2003

Stewart,

Sorry I didn't answer sooner. I was on vacation & was burried when I
came back. Using the 'Auto' programming mode will result in a much
faster programming time. As the spec states, the EEPROM Maximum
Programming Time with the AUTO Bit Set is 500 uS.
