Information

After clearing CCIF to launch the Set FlexRAM Function command, the flash memory
module sets the function of the FlexRAM based on the FlexRAM Function Control Code.
When making the FlexRAM available as traditional RAM, the flash memory module
clears the FCNFG[EEERDY] and FCNFG[RAMRDY] flags, overwrites the contents of
the entire FlexRAM with a background pattern of all ones, and sets the
FCNFG[RAMRDY] flag. The state of the FEPROT register does not prevent the
FlexRAM from being overwritten. When the FlexRAM is set to function as a RAM,
normal read and write accesses to the FlexRAM are available. When large sections of
flash memory need to be programmed, e.g. during factory programming, the FlexRAM
can be used as the Section Program Buffer for the Program Section command (see
Program Section Command).
When making the FlexRAM available for EEPROM, the flash memory module clears the
FCNFG[EEERDY] and FCNFG[RAMRDY] flags, overwrites the contents of the
FlexRAM allocated for EEPROM with a background pattern of all ones, and copies the
existing EEPROM data from the EEPROM backup record space to the FlexRAM. After
completion of the EEPROM copy-down, the FCNFG[EEERDY] flag is set. When the
FlexRAM is set to function as EEPROM, normal read and write access to the FlexRAM
is available, but writes to the FlexRAM also invoke EEPROM activity. The CCIF flag is
set after the Set FlexRAM Function operation completes.

28.4.12 Security
The flash memory module provides security information to the MCU based on contents
of the FSEC security register. The MCU then limits access to flash memory resources as
defined in the device's Chip Configuration details. During reset, the flash memory
module initializes the FSEC register using data read from the security byte of the Flash
Configuration Field (see Flash Configuration Field Description).
The following fields are available in the FSEC register. The settings are described in the
Flash Security Register (FTFL_FSEC) details.
