17.7 Flash Memory Emulation in RAM
Making a setting in the RAM emulation register (RAMER) enables part of RAM to be overlapped
onto the flash memory area so that data to be written to flash memory can be emulated in RAM in
real time. Emulation can be performed in user mode or user program mode. Figure 17.11 shows
an example of emulation of real-time flash memory programming.
1. Set RAMER to overlap part of RAM onto the area for which real-time programming is
required.
2. Emulation is performed using the overlapping RAM.
3. After the program data has been confirmed, the RAMS bit is cleared, thus releasing RAM
overlap.
4. The data written in the overlapping RAM is written into the flash memory space (EB0).
