Interrupt Handling During Flash Memory Programming/Erasing - Renesas H8 Series Hardware Manual

Hardware Protection: Hardware protection refers to a state in which programming/erasing of
flash memory is forcibly suspended or disabled. At this time, the flash memory control register
(FLMCR) and erase block register (EBR1 and EBR2) settings are cleared.
Details of the hardware protection states are given below.

protect are initialized, and the program/erase-
protected state is entered. To obtain
this protection, the V
not exceed the V
voltage. *
Reset/standby In a reset, (including a watchdog timer
protect reset), and in sleep, subsleep, watch,
and standby mode, FLMCR, EBR1,
and EBR2 are initialized, and the
program/erase-protected state is
entered. In a reset via the RES pin, the
reset state is not reliably entered
unless the RES pin is held low for at
least 20 ms (oscillation settling time) *
after powering on. In the case of a
reset during operation, the RES pin
must be held low for a minimum of 10
system clock cycles (10φ).
Notes: 1. Three modes: program-verify, erase-verify, and prewrite-verify.
2. All blocks are erase-disabled, and individual block specification is not possible.

Interrupt Handling during Flash Memory Programming/Erasing

If an interrupt is generated while the flash memory is being programmed or erased (while the P or
E bit is set in FLMCR), an operating state may be entered in which the vector will not be read
correctly in the exception handling sequence, resulting in program runaway. All interrupt sources
should therefore be masked to prevent interrupt generation while programming or erasing the flash
memory.
