28.4.11.12 Erase All Blocks Command

The Erase All Blocks operation erases all flash memory, initializes the FlexRAM, verifies

all memory contents, and releases MCU security.

Table 28-62. Erase All Blocks Command FCCOB Requirements

FCCOB Number FCCOB Contents [7:0]

0 0x44 (ERSALL)

After clearing CCIF to launch the Erase All Blocks command, the flash memory module

erases all program flash memory, data flash memory, data flash IFR space, EEPROM

backup memory, and FlexRAM, then verifies that all are erased.

If the flash memory module verifies that all flash memories and the FlexRAM were

properly erased, security is released by setting the FSEC[SEC] field to the unsecure state

and the FCNFG[RAMRDY] bit is set. The Erase All Blocks command aborts if any flash

or FlexRAM region is protected. The security byte and all other contents of the flash

configuration field (see Flash Configuration Field Description) are erased by the Erase

All Blocks command. If the erase-verify fails, the FSTAT[MGSTAT0] bit is set. The

CCIF flag is set after the Erase All Blocks operation completes.

28.4.11.12.1 Triggering an Erase All External to the Flash Memory Module

The functionality of the Erase All Blocks command is also available in an uncommanded

fashion outside of the flash memory. Refer to the device's Chip Configuration details for

information on this functionality.

Before invoking the external erase all function, the FSTAT[ACCERR and PVIOL] flags

must be cleared and the FCCOB0 register must not contain 0x44. When invoked, the

erase-all function erases all program flash memory, data flash memory, data flash IFR

space, EEPROM backup, and FlexRAM regardless of the protection settings. If the post-

erase verify passes, the routine then releases security by setting the FSEC[SEC] field

the Flash Configuration Field is also programmed to the unsecure state. The status of the
