28.4.11.7.2 Resuming a Suspended Erase Flash Sector Operation
If the ERSSUSP bit is still set when CCIF is cleared to launch the next command, the
previous Erase Flash Sector operation resumes. The flash memory module acknowledges
the request to resume a suspended operation by clearing the ERSSUSP bit. A new
suspend request can then be made by setting ERSSUSP. A single Erase Flash Sector
operation can be suspended and resumed multiple times.
There is a minimum elapsed time limit between the request to resume the Erase Flash
Sector operation (CCIF is cleared) and the request to suspend the operation again
(ERSSUSP is set). This minimum time period is required to ensure that the Erase Flash
Sector operation will eventually complete. If the minimum period is continually violated,
i.e. the suspend requests come repeatedly and too quickly, no forward progress is made
by the Erase Flash Sector algorithm. The resume/suspend sequence runs indefinitely
without completing the erase.
28.4.11.7.3 Aborting a Suspended Erase Flash Sector Operation
The user may choose to abort a suspended Erase Flash Sector operation by clearing the
ERSSUSP bit prior to clearing CCIF for the next command launch. When a suspended
operation is aborted, the flash memory module starts the new command using the new
FCCOB contents.
While FCNFG[ERSSUSP] is set, a write to the FlexRAM while FCNFG[EEERDY] is set
clears ERSSUSP and aborts the suspended operation. The FlexRAM write operation is
executed by the flash memory module.
Note
Aborting the erase leaves the bitcells in an indeterminate,
partially-erased state. Data in this sector is not reliable until a
new erase command fully completes.
The following figure shows how to suspend and resume the Erase Flash Sector operation.
