12.1 Description
The ROM correction function can correct the program data in any address within
the 256-kilobyte ROM. (It cannot correct OSD ROM data.) A maximum of
sixteen addresses can be corrected. Addresses are set as address match interrupts.
This function shortens time-to-market for large-scale designs, since changes can
be implemented in the software after the mask ROM is complete.
The ROM correction function has numerous other applications. For instance, you
can insert keywords into the functional routines, then use the function to send
internal status information to an external location. This enables system-level
examination of the internal status even with the mask ROM version.
To use the ROM correction function, embed a routine such as that shown in
figure 12-2 in the ROM.

As figure 12-1 shows, the function lies between the microcontroller and ROM
blocks. First set the correction data for any sixteen non-OSD addresses in the
ROM correction address match and data registers. (Follow the flow shown in
figure 12-2.) Once this is done, the circuit will correct the ROM output for the
designated addresses.
