Some mounth ago we do same things. We use an Atmel AT91M55800A and an
external flash wich don't have busy pin. When i program the flash it
hangs up, so i have to run flash write code from ram.
We used the easiest way, copy all the functions/need run in ram/ from
flash to ram, make new ponter to it, and call the new function to
write flash.
the code:
void (* flash_write) (uint32, uint8);
__arm
void flash_write_(uint32 addr, uint8 data) {
flash_raw_write(0x555,0xF0);//RESET
flash_specstart_seq();
flash_raw_write(0x555,0x00A0);
flash_raw_write(addr,data);
flash_datapoll();
}
void copy_fv_init(void *init) {
to=(uint32*)init;
}
__arm
void* copy_fv(void *from_addr,int wordcount) {
int i;
//uint16 *from=(uint16*)(((uint8*)from_addr)-1);
uint32 *from=(uint32*)(((uint32*)from_addr));
void *start=(void *)to;
for (i=0; i<wordcount; i++) {
*to=*from;
to++,from++;
}
return start;
}
...
flash_write=(void (*)(uint32,uint8))copy_fv((void*)&flash_write_,120);
...
copy_fv_init sets the start addr. where the function will be placed.
copy_fv copy the function, with 120word/it can be determine
exactly,but it won't need for us/
a call:
flash_write(FLASH_FAT_BASE+r_addr,data);
It works fine! But we buy a flash that have busy output, and connect
it to externel wait pin of the ARM, so we don't have to run in ram
when writeing flash.
Good Luck!
