About This Manual
This reference guide describes the operation of the embedded flash EEPROM
module on the TMS320F20x/F24x digital signal processor (DSP) devices and
provides sample code that you can use in developing your own software. The
performance specifications of the embedded flash memory have been evalu-
ated using the algorithms and techniques described in this guide. TI does not
recommend deviation from these algorithms and techniques, since doing so
could affect device performance. The book does not describe the use of any
specific flash programming tool nor does it describe the external interface to
the DSP. For information about any aspect of the TMS320F20x/F24x devices
other than the embedded flash EEPROM module, see

How to Use This Manual
There are several stand-alone flash programming tools for TMS320F20x/
F24x generation of DSPs. Using one of these stand-alone tools with the
TMS320F20x/F24x requires only a basic understanding of the flash opera-
tions. More information about these flash programming tools is available on
the TI web page, http://www.ti.com. This guide is intended to provide a
complete understanding of the flash operations. This level of understanding
is necessary for making modifications to existing flash programming tools
or for developing alternative programming schemes.
