EEPROM blocked while page change

Hi ST community,

First question for me here.... It is about an emulated eeprom issue

 

I try to save dta to an emulated eeprom.

Parameter are : starting dress : 0x800D00

page size 0x800

number of variable to be saved 37

guard page number =2

cycle life =1

 

I do manage to save and read from eeprom however, after a while (let's say between 500 and 1000 saving operations, the eeprom comes into the loop below and don't mnage to get out...

 

Would somebody knows why ? I assume my parameters are wrong but I can't figure it out ...

 

 

Thanks ,

 

Tjhe loop that blocks ...

pageadress takes the value 28 27 26 and then back to 28.

 

while ((pagestate == STATE_PAGE_ACTIVE) || (pagestate == STATE_PAGE_VALID) || (pagestate == STATE_PAGE_ERASING))

 {

  /* Set counter index to last element position in the page */

  counter = PAGE_SIZE - EE_ELEMENT_SIZE;

 

  /* Check each page address starting from end */

  while (counter >= PAGE_HEADER_SIZE)

  {

   /* Get the current location content to be compared with virtual address */

   addressvalue = (*(__IO EE_ELEMENT_TYPE*)(pageaddress + counter));

   if (addressvalue != EE_PAGESTAT_ERASED)

   {

    /* Compare the read address with the virtual address */

    if (EE_VIRTUALADDRESS_VALUE(addressvalue) == VirtAddress)

    {

     /* Calculate crc of variable data and virtual address */

     crc = CalculateCrc(EE_DATA_VALUE(addressvalue), EE_VIRTUALADDRESS_VALUE(addressvalue));

 

     /* if crc verification pass, data is correct and is returned.

       if crc verification fails, data is corrupted and has to be skip */

     if (crc == EE_CRC_VALUE(addressvalue))

     {

      /* Get content of variable value */

      *pData = EE_DATA_VALUE(addressvalue);

 

      return EE_OK;

     }

    }

   }

   /* Next address location */

   counter -= EE_ELEMENT_SIZE;

  }

 

  /* Decrement page index circularly, among pages allocated to eeprom emulation */

  page = PREVIOUS_PAGE(page);

  pageaddress = PAGE_ADDRESS(page);

  pagestate = GetPageState(pageaddress);

 }

cleanup seems to solve the problem once I update

ee_status=

to

ee_status|=

thanks

Hello,

Could you please tell me on which device you are working please and show your applicative code?

hi, Thanks for your answer : the uC is an stm32G071

typical application code looks like this :

EE_WriteVariable16bits((int *)cAddr_cusaR0Mes     , usa_Temp[0]);

EE_WriteVariable16bits((int *)cAddr_cusaR0E0      , usa_Temp[1]);

EE_WriteVariable16bits((int *)cAddr_cusaR0EM      , usa_Temp[2]);

EE_WriteVariable16bits((int *)cAddr_cusaR0CapTequ   , usa_Temp[3]);

EE_WriteVariable16bits((int *)cAddr_cusaR0CapConso   , usa_Temp[4]);

EE_WriteVariable16bits((int *)cAddr_cusaR0Ibat     , usa_Temp[5]);

EE_WriteVariable16bits((int *)cAddr_cusaR0Ubat     , usa_Temp[6]);

EE_WriteVariable16bits((int *)cAddr_cusaR0State    , usa_Temp[7]);

EE_WriteVariable16bits((int *)cAddr_cusaCodeBatModeAlrm, usa_Temp[8]);

Perhaps you could make a trial with a starting address @ 0x0801 0000 ?

Are you sure your flash is free@ 0x0800D000?

yes it is free down to 0x0800C000

Ok if you can try to change the starting address @ 0x0801 0000 to check it's not the problem..

I will and I let you know

Hi Chloe,

There isn't actually enough space between 0x8010 0000 and the end of the flash to be able to load all pages ...

(indeed) I got error message while loading with this parameter :

"Break at address "0xfffffffe" with no debug information available, or outside of program code."

Hello Edgar,

Yes I wrote  @ 0x0801 0000 not 0x8010 000 🙂

Sorry, I did write it wrong. Indeed, I used 0x0801 0000 and got this error not 0x8010 0000
