Write

The Write control writes the flash memory on your board. To update the flash
memory contents, change values in the table and click Write. The application writes
the new values to flash memory and then reads the values back to guarantee that the
graphical display accurately reflects the memory contents.

1

To prevent overwriting the dedicated portions of flash memory, the application limits
the writable flash memory address range from 0x03FE.0000 to 0x03FF.FFFF (which
corresponds to the unused flash memory address range shown in

Table A–1 on

page A–1

).

read back and displayed. Errors are reported in the messages window. This test takes
10-15 seconds to run with an hour-glass displayed while the test is busy.

Increment Test

Starts an incrementing data pattern test to flash memory where the data pattern
contents are read back and displayed. Errors are reported in the messages window.
This test takes 10-15 seconds to run with an hour-glass displayed while the test is
