Flash ECC calculation during software execution

Evgenyy

Hello.

If I want to write some data and corresponding ECC bits to FLASH of TMS570 during software execution, should I perform all the ECC algoritm calculations in software too and then program it separately using Flash_Prog_B() function, or can TMS570 perform flash ECC calculations in hardware, like when writing data to RAM?

Thanks, Evgenyy.

You need to calculate the ECC separately either using a software routine or Fapi_HardwareCalculateECC() from the API (There is a current issue in this function that will be fixed in the next planned API update) and the program it separately.
