Gents For a certain application it would be nice if I could write to the EEPROM at run time. I have never been writing to the EEPROM, so my knowledge for this special feature is zero. What I am looking for is a short briefing on what I need to do that. E.g. are there functions in C available for writing to the EEPROM? I don't think it is so easy as some ATMEL uC do it: Direct writing to the EEPROM in almost the same way you use RAM. I have to know how much work this makes to be able to make a decision on how we continue. Thanks, Markus |

Writing to EEPROM: Basics needed

Hi Markus, It's all in the Motorola application notes and datasheets. With the 9S12 family just remember that the EEROM (which is really a Sectored flash) needs to be written to on 16 bit boundaries. (Or was it 32?) Can't remember off the top of my head. It means if you want to change a byte you have to read the entire sector, modify the individual byte and then write the sector back. But for reading. You can use pointers. Eg. Var = *ptr; where ptr points to EEROM.

Hallo Markus,
for the 912DG128A I wrote EEPROM routine in C. I don't know which HC12 you use, so I don't know if my routine works for you. If you want, I can send you my routine offline. -- Patrick Gempeler <> ProEda AG Datenmanagement <http://www.proeda.ch/> Bollstr. 32, CH-3076 Worb Tel +41 31 838 45 00, Fax +41 31 838 45 40 ----- Original Message ----- From: Roth Markus To: ' Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 8:41 AM Subject: *****SPAM***** [68HC12] Writing to EEPROM: Basics needed Gents For a certain application it would be nice if I could write to the EEPROM at run time.

Hello, Markus. I've just upload C functions which allow to write in E2Prom for 9s12dp256. I tested that functions with ICC12 C compiler ImageCraft, and it's OK. I asked Freescale for the initialisation of ECLKDIV. Their respond is included in zip file. Thank you to Freescale support ! May be you know you have to erase/write by sectors of 4 bytes... That functions allow to write anywhere in the E2Prom, and, if it's necessary, read the datas present to mix with the new datas. It's difficult to explain that in english. I means for example if you want to write a char in address 0x0503, - I first read from 0x0500 and I save datas in temporary variables - I erase the all sector (4 bytes) - I rewrite datas saved and the char I,ve to write. I hope you'll find respond for your question.

Gentlemen Thank you for your very quick response times / your answers / your codes. Patrick, maybe I will come back to your offer when things will become concrete, I'll keep it in my mind. BTW we use the D60. Regards, Markus |

I don't think not in ANSI C, but as a compiler extension. For example Cosmic supports EEPROM "variables". Keep in mind that this usually results in non-portable code. > it is so easy as some ATMEL uC do it: Direct writing to the EEPROM in almost > the same way you use RAM. depends on your compiler - with Cosmic it looks like variable access. Nevertheless you should be aware of the consequences: long execution time, and likely deadlock when using concurrently (from interrupt routines). People might prefer explicit (visible) calls to EEPROM write routines. BTW: If you want code snippets, you have to say _exactly_ which derivative you are using. Joel's code is valid only for S12 derivatives with specific mapping (and could be made much more compact). There are also differences between 912D60 and 912D60A! Oliver -- Oliver Betz, Muenchen |

Oliver Thanks for your answer. We use Metrowerks HiCross / SmartLinker and C++. Derivate is D60A. I have never read something like EEPROM-'Variable' like access in the metrowerks documentation.
