Hi. I'm using the STVD IDE with Cosmic with an STM8TL52F4 MCU with the 'Minimize Code Size' compiler option selected. Under Debug instrument->ICD MCU configuration->Options, I set the DATASIZE_bit6 Value to 1 (the other DATASIZE bits are 0) and made no other changes there. As I understand it, that should reserve a 1024 byte window in EEPROM for my permanent (power-up to power-up) settings info starting at address 0x0800. I'm able to UNLOCK, write and read that area and LOCK it again without problems. However, with each debug session, I find that the area is always overwritten. How do I prevent that and keep that area secure? And I'm curious what it's being overwritten WITH?
