20.3 CPU Rewrite Mode
In CPU rewrite mode, the user ROM area can be rewritten when the CPU executes software commands.
The user ROM area can be rewritten with the microcomputer is mounted on a board without using a parallel,
serial or CAN programmer.
In CPU rewrite mode, only the user ROM area shown in Figure 20.1 can be rewritten. The boot ROM area
cannot be rewritten. Program and the block erase command are executed only in the user ROM area.
Erase-write 0 (EW0) mode and erase-write 1 (EW1) mode are provided as CPU rewrite mode.
Table 20.3 lists the differences between EW0 and EW1 modes.
Table 20.3 EW0 Mode and EW1 Mode
NOTES:
1.
_______
Do not generate an interrupts (except NMI and watchdog timer interrupts) and DMA transfer.
2. When in CPU rewrite mode, the PM10 and PM13 bits in the PM1 register are set to 1. The rewrite
control program can only be executed in the internal RAM area.
