3.2.2.1 Memory Banks

Most MSPM0 devices implement a single flash bank (BANK0). On devices with a single flash bank, an ongoing program/erase operation stalls all read requests to the flash memory until the operation has completed and the flash controller has released control of the bank. On devices with more than one flash bank, a program/erase operation on a bank also stalls read requests issued to the bank that is executing the program/erase operation but does not stall read requests issued to another bank. Therefore, the presence of multiple banks enables application cases such as:

  • Dual-image firmware updates (an application can execute code out of one flash bank while a second image is programmed to a second symmetrical flash bank without stalling the application execution)
  • EEPROM emulation (an application can execute code out of one flash bank while a second flash bank is used for writing data without stalling the application execution)
