Hi all,
Does anyone know how you stop CodeWarrior (V3.1) from erasing the 4K
EEPROM when it loads the application via the Debugger ?
I have moved my EEPROM to live at &H4000 - &H4FFF , and I think
I've
told CodeWarrior about this in the .prm file, but the debugger
always 'blanks' it.
I've just updated CW with the latest update & patches and the
problem has happend since then. Prior to this, it didn't wipe it.
When I uploaded a new version of code in to the Flash, my 'data' was
left intact in the EEPROM.
I don't think I've changed anything, although I can't be certain
as
I don't know where the setting is that controls this, and the manual
is well....... less than useless, as is MetroWerks idea of support !
Any help or ideas anyone has would be great. It's causing be a load
of hassle I didn't need this week !
Regards
Andy

Hi Andrew
This had me stumped for a while, but you need to add the following line to
the P&E_ICD_Startup.cmd file for the debugger.
FLASH AEFSKIPERASING 0
It is sort of explained in the file Notes_debugger_icd12.txt buried in the
Metrowerks Release_Notes folder for Ver 3.1

Hi Andy.
Please read the release note extract here below for ICD-12 Host Target
Interface in CW12V31:
"
- The new command AEFSKIPERASING has been created to specify non volatile
memory blocks to protect from mass erasing at application loading. The
command should be placed in a "Preload" command file of your project.
The command syntax is:
FLASH AEFSKIPERASING <blockNo>
with blockNo = {number["-"number][","]}
For example, "FLASH AEFSKIPERASING 0,2-4" avoids erasing flash blocks 0,2,3,4.
Reminder: Flash (and non volatile memory) modules and numbers can be
displayed when typing the "FLASH" command in the Command window. Also the
Flash/Non Volatile Memory dialog list displays all modules starting from
block number 0.
"
The release note is usually stored in:
"{CodeWarrior Install
Path}\Release_Notes\HC12\CW_Tools\HC12\Notes_debugger_icd12.txt"
If you have CW12V30:
The flash erasing and programming is fully done via Preload and Postload files.
In the preload file, "FLASH ERASE" is without option, erasing the entire
flash. It is possible to simply specify blocks to erase, like "FLASH ERASE
0,2-4" to erase flash blocks 0,2,3,4. Regards,
Gilles
