AM5716: reset-proof memory area inside the SOC

Part Number: AM5716

In case of some emergency like exceptions we want to store some debugging info in some reset-proof area of the CPU.

DDR memory is not suitable because all memory is cleared after reset. 

And also the internal static RAM we find no corner where the content is not overwritten by some

code or data from the early boot stages.

But: We don't need to have it power cycle-safe that means power supply is always assumed to be stable.

We need about 1k of reset-proof memory so single registers e.g. in the RTC are not sufficient.

thank you

  • Martin,

    There is not an internal memory within the AM5716 that the contents for which are guaranteed to survive through reset, and you would need to provision some sort of software-based ECC or allowance for decay to handle this at the application level. The preferred mechanism for application data to survive reset is to use an external non-volatile storage device.

    Best regards,

    Dave

  • Hello Dave,

    I understand that there is nothing, so I have to find another solution

    Thank you
