Hi I am trying to bulk erase the 768 Byte EEPROM in 6812b32. I have written an assembly code for erasing it. I can see thru the debugger that when my code executes the eeprom is erased and all contents are FF but when I reset my processor then eeprom contains my previous data. Can any one suggest what I can do for permenantly erasing the eeprom. Anish |

Anish Perhaps if you shouw us your setup and code we could offefr some suggestions. Regards Dave Perreault Anish wrote: >Hi I am trying to bulk erase the 768 Byte EEPROM in 6812b32.

I am using the following code. I void bulk_erase_eeprom(void) { int orig_eeprot,orig_eeprog,i; orig_eeprot = EEPROT; orig_eeprog = EEPROG; EEPROT = 128; /*128 = 80H = 10000000 set all eeprom blocks to be erased*/ EEPROG = 0; /*clear all bits in eeprog*/ EEPROG = 6; /*set 1stand 2nd bit*/ EEPROG = 7; /*turn on programming voltage */ while (i<100) i++; /*give some delay*/ EEPROG &= ~(1<<0); /*turn off programming voltage*/ EEPROG &= ~(1<<1); EEPROG = orig_eeprog; EEPROT = orig_eeprot; } When my program comes to the last two line it restore what was there previoulsy in the eeprom. my eeprom starts from 0D00-0FFF. Also I would like to know how to remap my epprom to a different location.

Anish Three other things. 1. You need to turn on the external programming voltage approx. 12 volts. 2. If you are running a slow clock, you need to switch to the on chip RC oscillator. 3. I have no way of checking if your delay is long enough since it is clock frequency dependent. Regards Dave Perreault Anish wrote: >I am using the following code.

Thanks, The EEPROM I am using is not the flash. I think that only the flash requires external 12V for programming. For the internal EEPROM the voltage is generated internally. I can see that the EEPROM is being erased as the values are changed to FF. But when I reset my processor the original values in the EEPROM are restored. Also a new problem when I write data to the EEPROM the first time it writes fine but when I run the same program again and want my result in the same location of EEPROM it stores some garbage value(not my actual result). I want to know what the problem is with the EEPROM. EEPROM have 10000 read/write cycles so I dont think that is the problem. The first time it writes but after that it keeps on writing the same garbage value in that location.

Anish, The problem is most likely within your code, and not in the EEPROM. However, if you suspect the EEPROM, you can try to program it using your BDM tool. If it programs well using you BDM tool, then it is you code that doesn't work. If it doesn't program well using you BDM tool, then you know it is the EEPROM that doesn't work. Look in your code especially at the delays used to erase and program the EEPROM. Using too short delays will not erase or program the EEPROM, and using too long delays may fry the EEPROM and make it un-usable. It is very important to get the delays to within the specified range in the Motorola data sheets.
