SECTION 25: UTILITY ROM (SPECIFIC TO MAXQ8913)
25.1 Overview
The MAXQ8913 utility ROM includes routines that provide the following functions to application software:
• In-application programming routines for flash memory (program, erase, mass erase)
• Single word/byte copy and buffer copy routines for use with lookup tables
To provide backwards compatibility among different versions of the utility ROM, a function address table is included
that contains the entry points for all user-callable functions. With this table, user code can determine the entry point
for a given function as follows:
1. Read the location of the function address table from address 0800Dh in the utility ROM.
2. The entry points for each function listed below are contained in the function address table, one word per function,
in the order given by their function numbers.
For example, the entry point for the UROM_flashEraseAll function can be determined by the following procedure.
1. functionTable = dataMemory[0800Dh]
2. flashWriteEntry = dataMemory[functionTable + 2]
It is also possible to call utility ROM functions directly, using the entry points given above. Standard include files are
provided for this purpose with the MAXQ development toolset; also see Appendix 1. This method calls functions more
quickly, but the application may need to be recompiled in order to run properly with a different version of the utility
ROM.
