Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS570LS0432

Hello Support,

In the Flash API document for F021 based device, I couldn't find anything related to Flash Compaction function.

In the F035 or F05 Flash API, there was Flash_Compact_B() API.

Please help.

Thank you.
Regards

Hello Pashan,

F021 Flash uses a different cell technology from F035/F05 and does not use compaction.

Hello John,

Attached SCREEN SHOT of Flash470.exe [Version 3.42] as used with TMS570LS0432 [Cantina] device is showing COMPACTION being performed before Erasing.
Please help us understand about this discrepancy.

Hello Pashan,

Compaction could not be easily removed from the flow in Flash470 so it calls a null function that does not do anything when compaction is selected on F021 devices.
