Embedded Flash Controller
Misalignment Detector
The peripheral address space and each internal memory area can be protected against write
and non-privileged access of one of the masters. When one of the masters performs a forbid-
den access, an Abort is generated and the Abort Status traces what has happened.
There is no priority in the protection of the memory spaces. In case of overlap between several
memory spaces, the strongest protection is taken into account. If an access is performed to an
address which is not contained in any of the 16 memory spaces, the Memory Protection Unit
generates an abort. To prevent this, the user can define a memory space of 4M bytes starting
at 0 and authorizing any access.
The Embedded Flash Controller is added to the Memory Controller and ensures the interface
of the flash block with the 32-bit internal bus. It allows an increase of performance in Thumb
Mode for Code Fetch with its system of 32-bit buffers. It also manages with the programming,
erasing, locking and unlocking sequences thanks to a full set of commands.
The Memory Controller features a Misalignment Detector that checks the consistency of the
accesses.
For each access, regardless of the master, the size of the access and the bits 0 and 1 of the
address bus are checked. If the type of access is a word (32-bit) and the bits 0 and 1 are not 0,
or if the type of the access is a half-word (16-bit) and the bit 0 is not 0, an abort is returned to
the master and the access is cancelled. Note that the accesses of the ARM processor when it
is fetching instructions are not checked.
The misalignments are generally due to software bugs leading to wrong pointer handling.
These bugs are particularly difficult to detect in the debug phase.
As the requested address is saved in the Abort Status Register and the address of the instruc-
tion generating the misalignment is saved in the Abort Link Register of the processor,
detection and fix of this kind of software bugs is simplified.
