Flash Memory
Abstract
This chapter describes how to save data to the PIC32’s nonvolatile flash memory, so that data and settings are retained when the PIC32 is power cycled. This is also known as run-time self-programming (RTSP). The procedures for unlocking access to flash memory, erasing flash memory, writing to flash memory, and reading from flash memory using the special function registers (SFRs) are given. The chapter concludes with a library for writing and reading flash memory that the reader can use in their applications.
