#155412 - No erase is needed, why did I think it was? Responding to: ???'s previous message |
[J]...the block erase command ... is provided just to make happy the Philips users who want to ... migrate to Atmel, as there is no real need for it.
I had to think about that for a minute, then I wrote a test program that did multiple block writes (with different data) to the same area, and found that no erase is needed! I didn't recall seeing anything in the documentation indicating that an erase is not needed, but I looked again and there it is on page 86. Having focused a great deal on the Block Erase command in the API Call summary caused me to not do a very good job of RTFM. (Honest guys, I'm usually better at this.) |
