Is it possible to emulate eeprom in the flash memory of controller TMS320F28377D?

I needed to retain some of my system application configurations.

Hi Ajay,

I think the following thread(s) may help you:
https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000/f/171/p/319481/1112248
https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000/f/171/p/55179/263737#263737

Please note that these appnotes describe the process for the F280x/F2833x, but a similar process will be applicable for the F28377D.

Thank you,
Brett

Hi Ajay,

Here's the library:

Thank you for the replies..

As per my understanding the APP notes & the library are meant for F280x/F2833x devices like Brett has mentioned.
Will the FLASH API library work with F28377D,even if we edit the header files/Source files /cmd for making it compatible with F28377D.
Also as described in the links the Source codes of FLASH API are not available.

am i correct with this?

Ajay, you cannot use FLASH API to emulate EEPROM functionality. As for Flash API libraries for F2837xD you can navigate to:
C:\ti\controlSUITE\device_support\F2837xD\v150\F2837xD_common\include\FlashAPI
C:\ti\controlSUITE\device_support\F2837xD\v150\F2837xD_common\lib

Gautam

i think the EEPROM.C ultimately uses the Flash API functions itself to program & erase memory locations of Flash..

You're correct! But eeprom source and header files are the key here.
