18.4 CPU Rewrite Mode

In CPU rewrite mode, the user ROM area can be rewritten when the CPU executes software commands.
The user ROM area can be rewritten with microcomputer mounted on a board without using the ROM
writer. The program and block erase commands are executed only in the user ROM area.
When the interrupt requests are generated during the erase operation in CPU rewirte mode, the flash
memory offers an erase suspend function to suspend the erase operation and process the interrupt opera-
tion. During the erase suspend function is operated, the user ROM area can be read by program.
Erase-write(EW) 0 mode and erase-write 1 mode are provided as CPU rewrite mode. Table 18.3 lists
differences between EW mode 0 and EW mode 1. One wait is required for the CPU erase-write control.

NOTES:
1. Do not generate a DMA transfer.
2. Block 1 and Block 0 are enabled for rewrite by setting FMR02 bit in the FMR0 register to "1" and
setting FMR16 bit in the FMR1 register to "1". Block 2 to Block 5 are enabled for rewrite by setting
FMR16 bit in the FMR1 register to "1".
3. The time, until entering erase suspend and reading flash is enabled, is maximum
