Sample code for how to erase/write LPC1768, LPC11U24, LPC1114, LPC812 and LPC824 internal flash memory. This program uses IAP call of MCU's ROM routines. The IAP library also supports read/write of EEPROM in LPC11U24.

Dependencies:   mbed IAP

Sample code for how to erase/write LPC1768, LPC11U24, LPC1114, LPC812 and LPC824 internal flash memory. This program uses IAP call of MCU's ROM routines.

No filesystem interface available. This program is just an interface to flash erasing and writing. User need manage where to store the data in the flash area.

This IAP library supports read/write of EEPROM in LPC11U24.

+/**    IAP demo : demo code for internal Flash memory access library
+ *
+ *        The internal Flash memory access is described in the LPC1768 usermanual. 
+ *            http://www.nxp.com/documents/user_manual/UM10360.pdf
+ *
+ *            Chapter  2: "LPC17xx Memory map"
+ *            Chapter 32: "LPC17xx Flash memory interface and programming"
+ *                refering Rev. 01 - 4 January 2010
+ *
+ *  This main.cpp demonstrates how the flash can be erased and wrote.
+ *
+ *  This program tries to...
+ *    0. read device ID and serial#
+ *    1. check if the targat sector blank
+ *    2. erase the sector if it was not blank
+ *    3. write into the flash (prepare before write)
+ *    4. verify the data by IAP command
+ *    5. show the content of the flash
+ *
+ *  The Flash must be erased as sectors. No overwrite can be done like SRAM. 
+ *  So erase should be done in size of 4K or 32K. 
+ *
+ *  Writing sector can be done with size of 256, 512, 1024 or 4096. 
+ *  If other size is used, the IAP returns an error. 
+ *  The SRAM memory should be allocated in 
+ *

+ *        revision 1.0  09-Mar-2010   1st release
+ *        revision 1.1  12-Mar-2010   chaged: to make possible to reserve flash area for user
+ *                                            it can be set by USER_FLASH_AREA_START and USER_FLASH_AREA_SIZE in IAP.h
