I try to program the FLASH memory on my target, but it does not work.

UDE® Memtool fails with the message "Unknown FLASH Type".

UDE® Memtool stores FLASH memory descriptions within the database file <UDE_DIRECTORY>/extflash.dat. The message above means, that the current FLASH memory is not described in the database. You may extend the database by appending a new FLASH memory definition or an alias FLASH memory definition, if a compatible FLASH memory is defined already. Refer to the FLASH memory datasheet for information about the FLASH device IDs and the internal bank structure. Additionally please note the header of the database for further information.

Use a simple text editor to edit a FLASH memory description or to add a new FLASH memory device into the database.

FLASH memory definition:

  [<family>.<vendor_id>_<chip_id>]
  Name= <flash_name>
  Bank0= <bank_0_size> {,<number_of_equal_sized_banks>*}
  ..
  Bank[N]= <bank_n_bytesize>

Alias FLASH memory definition:

  [<family>.<vendor_id>_<chip_id>]
  Name= <flash_name>
  Alias= <family>.<vendor_id>_<chip_id>

Syntax:

  <family> := <predefined_textstring>
  <vendor_id> := <hexnumber; 2digits>
  <chip_id> := <hexnumber; 4digits>
  <flash_name> := <textstring>
  <bank_n_bytesize> := 0x<hexnumber>
  <number_of_equal_sized_banks> := <decnumber>

Example:

  ; 8 MBit, 16-bit chip, bottom boot block, AMD
  [AM29FX.01_2258]
  Name=Am29F800B
  Bank0=0x4000
  Bank1=0x2000
  Bank2=0x2000
  Bank3=0x8000
  Bank4=0x10000, 15*

  ; 8 MBit, 16-bit chip, bottom boot block, Hyundai
  ; (Alias mapped to Amd29F800B)
  [AM29FX.AD_2258]
  Name=HY29F800B
  Alias=AM29FX.01_2258
