How to program STM8L and STM8AL Flash program memory

and data EEPROM

Introduction

This manual describes how to program Flash program memory and data EEPROM on

STM8 microcontrollers. It applies to low density STM8L05x/15x/STM8L101x, medium and medium+ density STM8L05x/15x, high density STM8L05x/15x/16x, medium density

STM8AL31xx and STM8AL3Lxx devices. It is intended to provide information for programming tool manufacturers and for customers who want to implement programming themselves on their production line.

The in-circuit programming (ICP) method is used to update the content of Flash program memory and data EEPROM while the user software is not running. It uses the single wire interface module (SWIM) to communicate between the programming tool and the device.

In contrast to the ICP method, in-application programming (IAP) can use any communication interface supported by the microcontroller (I/Os, SPI, USART, I

2

C, USB,

CAN...). IAP has been implemented for users who want their application software to update itself by re-programming the Flash program memory during program execution. The main advantage of IAP is its ability to re-program Flash program memory and data EEPROM when the chip has already been soldered on the application board and while the user software is running. Nevertheless, part of the Flash program memory has to be previously programmed using ICP.

Some devices also contain a bootloader embedded in a ROM memory. Through this firmware the device memory can be re-programmed using a standard communication interface. This programming method is not described in this document.

For details on memory implementation and features, registers or stack top addresses, refer to the product datasheets.

PM0054

This section gives a brief definition of acronyms and terms used in this document:

● Block

A block is a set of bytes that can be programmed or erased in one single programming operation. Operations that are available on a block are fast programming, erase only,

and standard programming (which includes an erase operation). Refer to Section 2:

Related documents for details on block size according to the device.

● Bootloader

The bootloader is an IAP application embedded in the system memory of the device. It is used to erase and program the device using a standard serial communication port.

The bootloader is not available on small devices, and is not described in the present document. Refer to STM8 bootloader user manual (UM0500) for more details.

● Driver

A driver is a control program defined by the application developer. It is used to manage the allocation of system resources to start application programs. In this document two drivers are described, ICP and IAP drivers.

● In-application programming (IAP)

IAP is the ability to re-program the Flash program memory and data EEPROM (DATA) of a microcontroller while the device is already plugged-in to the application and the application is running.

● In-circuit programming (ICP)

ICP is the ability to program the Flash program memory and data EEPROM of a microcontroller using the SWIM protocol while the device is plugged-in to the application.

● In-circuit debugging (ICD)

ICD is the ability to debug the user software using the SWIM protocol. The user has the ability to connect the device to a debugger and insert breakpoints in his firmware.

Debugging may be intrusive (application patched to allow debugging) or non intrusive

(using a debug module).

● Memory access security system (MASS) keys

The Memory access security system (MASS) consists of a memory write protection lock designed to prevent unwanted memory modifications due to EMS or program counter loss. To unlock the memory protection, one or more keys must be written in a dedicated register and in a specific order. When the operation (write or erase) is completed, the MASS must be activated again to provide good memory security.

Page

A page is a set of blocks. The number of blocks in a page may differ from one device to

another. Refer to Section 2: Related documents

for details on page size according to the device.

Dedicated option bytes can be used to configure by increments of one page the size of the user boot code, the proprietary code, and the data EEPROM. Refer to

Section 6:

Flash program memory & data EEPROM comparison for a description of available

areas and option bytes according to the devices.

Proprietary code area (PCODE)

The proprietary code area (PCODE) can be used to protect proprietary software libraries used to drive peripherals. Refer to

Section 4.2: Proprietary code area protection for details.

Read-while-write (RWW)

The RWW feature provides the ability for the software to perform write operation on data EEPROM while reading and executing the program memory. Execution time is therefore optimized. The opposite operation is not allowed: the software cannot read data memory while writing program memory.

The RWW feature is not available on all STM8 devices. Refer to Table 11

for information on devices with RWW capability.

Single wire interface module (SWIM)

The SWIM is a communication protocol managed by hardware in the STM8 microcontrollers. The SWIM main purpose is to provide non intrusive debug capability.

It can also be used to download programs into RAM and execute them. It can also write

(registers or RAM) or read any part of the memory space and jump to any memory address. The SWIM protocol is used for ICP. It is accessed by providing a specific sequence on the SWIM pin either during the reset phase or when the device is running

(if allowed by the application).

System memory

The STM8 system memory is a small ROM accessible when the user software is executed. It contains the bootloader. The system ROM and the bootloader are not available on all STM8 devices.

User boot code area (UBC)

The user boot code area is a write-protected area which contains reset vector, interrupt vectors, and IAP routine for the device to be able to recover from interrupted or erroneous IAP programming.

User mode

The user mode is the standard user software running mode in the STM8. It is entered either by performing a power-on-reset on the device or by issuing the SWIM SRST command from a development tool.

Word

A word is a set of 4 bytes and corresponds to the memory granularity.

The STM8 devices feature several mechanisms allowing to protect the content of the Flash program and data EEPROM areas:

● Readout protection

The software can prevent application code, data stored in the Flash program memory and data EEPROM from being read and modified in ICP/SWIM mode.

●

Readout protection is enabled and disabled by an option byte in ICP/SWIM mode.

Refer to

Section 4.1

for details.

Proprietary code area (PCODE) protection

To protect proprietary peripheral software driver libraries, some STM8 devices feature a permanently readout-protected area, the proprietary code area (PCODE).

●

●

This area is in Flash program memory. Its content cannot be modified and can only be read/executed in user privileged mode.

The PCODE area size can be configured in ICP/SWIM mode through an option byte in increments of one page.

The PCODE area is not available on all devices.

Refer to

Table 11: Comparison of STM8L devices for the devices featuring PCODE

area, and to

Section 4.2

for details on PCODE area.

User boot code area (UBC ) protection

To guarantee recovery capability from an interrupted or erroneous IAP program, STM8 devices provide a write-protected area called user boot code (UBC).

This area is in Flash program memory and cannot be modified in user mode (it is protected against modification by user software).

The UBC area content can be modified only in ICP/SWIM mode after clearing the UBC option byte.

The UBC area size can be configured through an option byte in increments of one page.

Refer to

Section 4.3

for details on user boot code area.

Unwanted memory access protection

All STM8 devices offer unwanted memory access protection, to prevent unintentional modification of program memory or data EEPROM (for example due to a firmware bug or EMC disturbance).

This protection consists of authorizing write access to the memory only through a specific software sequence which is unlikely to happen randomly or by mistake.

Access to Flash program and data EEPROM areas is enabled by writing MASS keys into key registers.

Refer to

Section 4.4

for details on unwanted memory access protection.

Memory protection strategy PM0054

4.2

On low density STM8L101x microcontrollers, the readout protection is:

● enabled by writing 0xAA in the ROP option byte

● disabled by reprogramming the ROP option byte with any value except 0xAA and resetting the device.

On low density STM8L05x/15x, medium density STM8L05x/15x and

STM8AL31xx/STM8AL3Lxx and high density STM8L05x/15x/16x microcontrollers, the readout protection is:

● enabled by writing any value except 0xAA in the ROP option byte

● disabled by reprogramming the ROP option byte with 0xAA, and resetting the device.

To unprotect the device, the ROP must be written twice: the first write, with any value, launches a global erase which includes the option byte; the second write, 0xAA, unprotects the device, and then the 0xAA value remains in the ROP byte.

Please note the EOP should be checked each time.

Readout protection can only be disabled in ICP/SWIM mode.

When readout protection is selected, reading or modifying the Flash program memory in

ICP mode (using the SWIM interface) is forbidden. When available, the data EEPROM memory is also protected against read and write access through ICP.

Erasing the ROP option byte to disable the readout protection causes the Flash program memory, the DATA area and the option bytes to be erased.

Even though no protection can be considered as totally unbreakable, the readout protection feature provides a very high level of protection for general purpose microcontrollers. Of course, software that dumps the Flash program memory content makes this readout protection useless.

Table 10

describes possible accesses to each memory areas versus the different modes and readout protection settings.

Proprietary code area protection

The memory pages containing peripherals software libraries must be located in the proprietary code area (PCODE).

The size of the PCODE area can be configured through the PCODE option byte

(PCODESIZE) in ICP/SWIM mode. Refer to Table 7

for details on PCODE minimum and maximum size. Once programmed, the PCODE option byte cannot be erased, the size of the PCODE area remains fixed and its content protected from read and write operations whatever the mode.

PM0054 Memory protection strategy

Except for the interrupt vectors which can be read directly, the PCODE area can be read only through a TRAP or TLI interrupt in ICP/SWIM (with readout protection disabled), user and IAP mode.

When the PCODE option byte is set, the PCODE area and both TLI and TRAP vectors are write-protected to prevent a malicious user/program from inserting a “dump” routine inside the protected code.

When accessing the PCODE area, no other program can be executed (all interrupt and debug access are disabled). The programmer must consequently ensure that the protected code embedded in the PCODE area gives back control to the main/end user software at reasonable periods of time.

4.3 User boot code area protection

Whatever the memory content, it is always possible to restart an ICP session after a critical error by applying a reset and restarting the SWIM communication.

On the contrary, during IAP sessions, the programming software driver must always be write-protected to be able to recover from any critical failure that might happen during programming (such as power failure).

The pages where the IAP driver is implemented must be located in the write-protected boot code area (UBC). The application reset and interrupt vectors and the reset routine must also be stored in the UBC. These conditions allow the user software to manage recovery from potential critical failure by applying a reset and restarting the IAP routine from the UBC.

The UBC size is defined by the user boot code (UBC) area option byte.

This option byte may slightly differ from one product to another.

See the following table for the minimum and maximum size of the UBC area.

Note:

PM0054

Unwanted memory access protection

The unwanted memory access protection consists of writing two 8-bit keys in the right order into dedicated MASS key registers.

Writing the correct sequence of keys in the program memory MASS key register

(FLASH_PUKR) enables the programming of the program memory area excluding the UBC and the PCODE area (when available). If wrong keys are provided, a reset must to be generated to be able to reprogram the right keys.

Once the write memory protection has been removed, it is possible to reactivate the protection of the area by resetting the PUL bit in FLASH_IAPSR.

To enable write access to the data EEPROM area, another specific MASS key register

(FLASH_DUKR) and a different key sequence must be used. Once the data

EEPROM/option byte area is unlocked, it is possible to reactivate the protection of the area by resetting the DUL bit in FLASH_IAPSR.

If wrong keys have been provided to the FLASH_PUKR register, the device must be reset before performing a new key program sequence. However, when wrong keys are provided to the FLASH_DUKR register, new keys can be entered without the device being previously reset.

On low density STM8L devices, the size of the DATA area can be configured through the

DATASIZE option byte for a given product.

In order to be as effective as possible, the application software must lock again the unwanted memory access protection as soon as the programming is completed. Otherwise, the protection level of the MASS is significantly reduced. To activate the MASS protection again, the user must reset the corresponding bits in the FLASH_IAPSR register (DUL bit for data EEPROM or PUL bit for Flash program memory).

The mechanism to lock and unlock unwanted memory access protection is identical for

option bytes and data EEPROM (see Table 9: MASS ).

Before starting programming program memory or data EEPROM, the software must verify that the area is not write-protected by checking that the PUL or DUL bit is effectively set.

This section describes how to program STM8 single-voltage Flash microcontrollers.

5.1 Unlocking the memory access security system (MASS)

The memory must be unlocked before attempting to perform any erase or write operation.

To unlock it, follow the procedure described in Section 4.4: Unwanted memory access protection

, and Table 9 . The software must poll the PUL and DUL bit, before attempting to

write to program memory and data EEPROM, respectively.

2.

The OPT bit of the FLASH_CR2 register must be set/cleared to enable access to the option bytes.

3.

If wrong keys have been entered, a reset must to be generated to be able to reprogram the right keys.

Block write operations can program an entire block in one shot, thus minimizing the programming time. There are three block programming modes: erase, write only (also called fast programming) and combined erase/write cycle (also called standard block programming). The programming mode is selected through FLASH_CR2 register.

Block program operations can be performed both to main program memory and DATA area:

● Programming a block of main program memory:

– The block program operation has to be executed totally from RAM.

●

●

– The program execution continues from RAM. If the program goes back to main program memory, it is stalled until the block program operation is complete. On medium and medium+ density STM8L15x and high density STM8L05x/15x/16x, the DMA controller can be programmed to perform a block transfer to Flash program memory, and put the CPU in Wait mode.

Programming a block of data EEPROM with RWW capability:

– The block program operation can be executed from main program memory.

However the data loading phase has to be executed from RAM (see below).

– Normal program execution can continue from main program memory. The HVOFF bit of the FLASH_IAPSR register can be polled to check if the memory is ready for

RWW.

Programming a block of data EEPROM without RWW capability:

The block program operation must be executed totally from RAM.

Doc ID 15433 Rev 9 17/28

Programming STM8 Flash microcontrollers PM0054

The programming can also be performed directly through the SWIM interface. In this case, it is recommended to stall the device in order to prevent the core from accessing the Flash program memory during the block program or erase operation. This can be done by setting the STALL bit in the DM_CSR2 debug module register. Refer to the STM8 SWIM communication protocol and debug module (UM0470) for more information.

Caution: During a block program or erase operation, it is recommended to avoid executing instructions performing a read access to program memory.

Caution: If the number of written memory locations is higher than that required in the block program/erase sequence, the additional locations are handled as redundant byte write operations.

If the number of written memory locations is lower than that specified in the block program/erase sequence, the block program/erase process does not start and the CPU stalls waiting for the remaining operations to be performed.

Caution: EOP and WR_PG_DIS bits of FLASH_IAPSR register are automatically cleared when a program/erase operation starts.

Caution: If a block program or erase sequence is interrupted by a reset, the data programmed in the memory may be corrupted.

Standard block programming

The following sequence is required to perform a standard block program sequence (block erased and programmed):

1.

Unlock the memory if not already done.

The UBC option byte can be read to check if the block to program is not in the UBC area. If necessary, reprogram it to allow erasing and programming the targeted block.

2. Write 0x01 in FLASH_CR2 (PRG bit active).

3. Write all the data bytes of the block you want to program starting with the very first address of the block. No read or write access to the program memory is allowed during these load operations as they might corrupt the values to be programmed.

The programming cycle starts automatically when all the data in the block have been written.

4. Check the WR_PG_DIS bit in FLASH_IAPSR to verify if the block you attempted to program was not write-protected (optional)

5. To check if the program operation is complete, poll the EOP bit in FLASH_IAPSR from program memory. EOP is set to ‘1’ when the standard block program operation has completed. To avoid polling the EOP bit, an interrupt can be generated when EOP is set.

Note: It is mandatory to execute steps 2 to 4 from RAM.

Caution: EOP and WR_PG_DIS bits are cleared by reading the FLASH_IAPSR register. It is consequently strongly recommended to perform one single read operation to the

FLASH_IAPSR register to check the values of these bits.

18/28 Doc ID 15433 Rev 9

PM0054 Programming STM8 Flash microcontrollers

Fast block programming operation

The following sequence is required to perform a fast block program sequence (block programmed without previous erase):

1.

Unlock the memory if not already done.

The UBC option byte can be read to check if the block to program is not in the UBC area. If necessary, reprogram it to allow programming the targeted block.

2. Write 0x10 in FLASH_CR2 (FPRG bit active).

3. Write all the data bytes of the block you want to program starting with the very first address of the block. No read or write access to the program memory is allowed during these load operations as they might corrupt the values to be programmed.

The programming cycle starts automatically when the complete block has been written.

4. Check the WR_PG_DIS bit in FLASH_IAPSR to verify if the block you attempted to program was not write-protected (optional).

5. To check if the program operation is complete, poll the EOP bit in FLASH_IAPSR from program memory. EOP is set to ‘1’ when the block program operation has completed.

To avoid polling the EOP bit, an interrupt can be generated when EOP is set.

Note: It is mandatory to execute steps 2 to 4 from RAM.

Caution: EOP and WR_PG_DIS bits are cleared by reading the FLASH_IAPSR register. It is consequently strongly recommended to perform one single read operation to the

FLASH_IAPSR register to check the values of these bits.

Caution: The memory block must be empty when performing a fast block programming operation.

Block erase operation

The following sequence is required to perform a block erase sequence:

1.

Unlock the memory if not already done.

The UBC option byte can be read to check if the block to erase is not in the UBC area.

If necessary, reprogram it to allow erasing the targeted block.

2. Write 0x20 in FLASH_CR2 (ERASE bit active).

3. Write '0x00 00 00 00' to any word inside the block to be erased using a LOAD instruction.

4. Check the WR_PG_DIS bit in FLASH_IAPSR to verify if the block you attempted to erase was not write-protected (optional).

5. To check if the erase operation is complete, poll the EOP bit in FLASH_IAPSR from program memory. EOP is set to ‘1’ when the block erase operation has completed. To avoid polling the EOP bit, an interrupt can be generated when EOP is set.

Note: It is mandatory to execute steps 2 to 4 from RAM.

Caution: EOP and WR_PG_DIS bits are cleared by reading the FLASH_IAPSR register. It is consequently strongly recommended to perform one single read operation to the

FLASH_IAPSR register to check the values of these bits.

Doc ID 15433 Rev 9 19/28

Programming STM8 Flash microcontrollers PM0054

Both main program memory and data EEPROM can be programmed and erased at word level. Word operations are performed in the same way as block operations. They can be executed either from program memory or from RAM.

When a new word program operation starts, EOP and WR_PG_DIS bits of FLASH_IAPSR register are automatically cleared.

Contrary to word programming of the Flash program memory, the word programming of data

EEPROM with RWW feature (when available) does not stop program execution. The EOP bit can then indicate if the previous operation has completed. This bit is automatically reset when reading FLASH_IAPSR.

The following sequence is required to perform a word programming operation:

1.

Unlock the memory if not already done. The UBC option byte can be read to check if the word you want to program is not in the UBC area. If necessary, reprogram it to allow programming the targeted word.

2. Write 0x40 in FLASH_CR2 (WP bit active).

3. Write 4 data bytes to memory starting with the first address of the word to be programmed. The program cycle starts automatically when 4 bytes have been written.

4. Check the WR_PG_DIS bit in FLASH_IAPSR to verify if the word you attempted to program was not write-protected (optional).

5. To check if the program operation is complete, poll the EOP bit in FLASH_IAPSR register. EOP is set to ‘1’ when the word program operation has completed. To avoid polling the EOP bit, an interrupt can be generated when EOP is set.

Caution: EOP and WR_PG_DIS bits are cleared by reading the FLASH_IAPSR register. It is consequently strongly recommended to perform one single read operation to the

FLASH_IAPSR register to check the values of these bits.

Caution: If a word program operation is interrupted by reset, data programmed in memory may be corrupt.

20/28

Both main program memory and data EEPROM can be programmed / erased at byte level.

Byte programming is performed by executing a write instruction (ld, mov...) to an address in main program memory when the memory is unlocked. The write instruction initiates the erase/program cycle and any core access to the memory is blocked until the cycle has completed. This means that program execution from the Flash program memory is stopped until the end of the erase/program cycle.

When a new byte program operation starts, EOP and WR_PG_DIS bits of FLASH_IAPSR register are automatically cleared. At the end of the program operation, the EOP bit in the

FLASH_IAPSR register is set and the program execution restarts from the instruction following the write/erase instruction.

Contrary to byte programming of Flash program memory, byte programming of data

EEPROM with RWW feature (when available) does not stop program execution. The EOP bit can then be used to know if the previous operation completed. To avoid polling the EOP bit, an interrupt can be generated when EOP is set. This bit is automatically reset when reading FLASH_IAPSR.

Doc ID 15433 Rev 9

PM0054 Programming STM8 Flash microcontrollers

The erase/program cycle lasts longer if the word containing the byte to be programmed is not empty because an erase operation is performed automatically. If the word is empty, the erase operation is not performed. However, if a defined programming time is wanted, the

FIX bit in the FLASH_CR1 register forces the programming operation to always erase first whatever the contents of the memory. Therefore a fixed programming time is guaranteed

(erase time + write time). To erase a byte location, just write ‘0x00’ to the byte location.

Caution: A byte programming operation performs a word (4-byte) access to Flash program memory. If a byte program operation is interrupted by reset, this word programmed in memory may be corrupt.

Programming the option bytes

Option bytes are used to configure the device hardware features as well as the memory protection. They are stored in a dedicated memory block.

Summary of memory dedicated option bytes

The Flash program memory includes several option bytes dedicated to memory protection:

● ROP : The ROP option byte can prevent the Flash program memory from being read

and modified in ICP/SWIM mode. Refer to Section 4.1: Readout protection

for a detailed description of readout protection.

● PCODESIZE ((not available on low density STM8L101x, medium density

STM8L05x/15x and medium density STM8AL31xx/3Lxx devices): The PCODESIZE option byte configures the size of the proprietary code area (PCODE) which can be used to store proprietary software libraries. The minimum size of proprietary code area is 1 page (256 bytes) and the maximum size 255 pages. This byte can be modified only in ICP/SWIM mode.

Refer to

Section 4.2: Proprietary code area protection for a detailed description of the

PCODE area, and to Table 11: Comparison of STM8L devices

for the devices featuring

PCODE area and PCODESIZE option byte.

●

●

UBC : The UBC option byte programs the size of the write-protected user boot code area. The boot area always includes the reset and interrupt vectors and can be the full program memory size. The boot area size granularity is one page.

Refer to

Section 4.3: User boot code area protection for a detailed description of the

UBC area.

DATASIZE (available only on low density STM8L101x devices): The DATASIZE option byte configures the size of the data EEPROM area. This option byte specifies the number of pages starting from the end of the memory. The maximum size of the data

EEPROM area is 2 Kbytes.

Refer to

Table 11: Comparison of STM8L devices for the devices featuring DATASIZE

option byte.

How to program the option bytes

Option bytes are stored only once.

On low density STM8L101x devices, option bytes can be modified only in ICP/SWIM mode with OPT bit of the FLASH_CR2 register set to ‘1’ (refer to the description of FLASH_CR2 register in the reference manual).

Doc ID 15433 Rev 9 21/28

On medium STM8L05x/15x and STM8AL31xx/STM8AL3Lxx, medium+ density STM8L15x and high density STM8L05x/15x/16x devices, option bytes can be modified both in user/IAP mode and ICP mode (using the SWIM), except for the readout protection (ROP), UBC and

PCODESIZE which can only be removed in ICP mode. In ICP mode, OPT bit in the

FLASH_CR2 register must be set to ‘1’ before modifying option bytes.

PM0054 Programming STM8 Flash microcontrollers

The in-circuit programming (ICP) method is used to update Flash program memory and data EEPROM. The programming interface for STM8 devices is the SWIM (Single Wire

Interface Module). It is used to communicate with an external programming device connected via a cable.

See STM8 SWIM communication protocol and debug module user manual (UM0470) for more details on the SWIM mode entry and SWIM protocol. When using the SWIM protocol, two methods can be used.

First method

This method writes directly into the Flash registers and memory locations through the write memory command of the SWIM protocol. To make sure that the CPU is not accessing the memory during block Flash programming, the core must be stalled by setting the STALL bit in the DM_CSR2 debug module register. The following sequence is required:

1.

Apply a RESET

2. Activate the SWIM by sending the entry sequence on the SWIM pin

3. Activate the SWIM_CSR register by writing 1 to the DM bit in SWIM_CSR

4. Disable interrupts by setting the SAFE_MASK bit in SWIM_CSR

6. Verify the DeviceID by reading it using ROTF command

7. Send the SWIM SRST command

8. Unlock the memory by writing the MASS keys

9. Program the Flash program memory using the SWIM WOTF command

Second method

This method uses the same sequence of operations as the first method except that the ICP driver firmware must be downloaded in RAM before being launched:

1.

Apply a RESET

2. Activate the SWIM by sending the entry sequence on the SWIM pin

3. Activate the SWIM_CSR register by writing 1 to the DM bit in SWIM_CSR

4. Disable interrupts by setting the SAFE_MASK bit in SWIM_CSR

6. Verify the DeviceID by reading it using ROTF command

7. Send the SWIM SRST command

8. Unlock the memory by writing the MASS keys

9. Download the ICP driver firmware into device RAM using the SWIM WOTF command

10. Execute the ICP driver: a) Modify the CPU registers (new PC, X, Y, CC...) using the WOTF commands b) Set the FLASH bit in the DM_CSR2 register c) Clear the STALL bit in the DM_CSR2 register
