21.4 CPU Rewrite Mode

In CPU rewrite mode, the user ROM area can be rewritten when the CPU executes software commands. In
CPU rewrite mode, only the user ROM area shown in Figure 21.2.1 to 21.2.3 can be rewritten and the boot
ROM area cannot be rewritten. The Program and the Block Erase commands are executed only on blocks
in the user ROM area. Therefore, the user ROM area can be rewritten directly while the microcomputer is
mounted on-board without using a ROM programmer, etc.
For interrupts (maskable) requested during an erase operation, the flash memory offers an erase-suspend
function in which the erasing operation can be suspended, and access made available to the flash. Erase-
write 0 (EW0) mode and erase-write 1 (EW1) mode are provided in CPU rewrite mode. Table 21.4.1 shows
the differences between erase-write 0 (EW0) and erase-write 1 (EW1) modes. 1 wait is required for the
CPU erase-write operations.

Note 1: Do not generate a DMA transfer.
Note 2: Block 1 and 0 are enabled to rewrite by setting the FMR02 bit in the FMR0 register to "1" and
setting the FMR16 bit in the FMR1 register to "1". Block 2 to 4 are enabled to rewrite by setting
the FMR16 bit in the FMR1 register to "1".
Note 3: The time, until entering erase suspend and reading flash is enabled, is maximum td (SR-ES)
after satisfying the conditions.
