28.5.1 Control A

If an NMI has been triggered this register is not writable.

Name: CTRLA
Offset: 0x00
Reset: 0x00
Property: -

Bit 76543210 
 RESET     NMIENENABLE 
Access R/WR/WR/W 
Reset 000 

Bit 7 – RESET Reset CRCSCAN

Writing this bit to ‘1’ resets the CRCSCAN. The CRCSCAN Control and Status (CRCSCAN.CTRLA, CRCSCAN.CTRLB, CRCSCAN.STATUS) register will be cleared one clock cycle after the RESET bit is written to ‘1’.

If NMIEN is ‘0’, this bit is writable both when the CRCSCAN is busy (the BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS is ‘1’) and not busy (the BUSY bit is ‘0’), and will take effect immediately.

If NMIEN is ‘1’, this bit is only writable when the CRCSCAN is not busy (the BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS is ‘0’).

The RESET bit is a strobe bit.

Bit 1 – NMIEN Enable NMI Trigger

When this bit is written to ‘1’, any CRC failure will trigger an NMI.

This bit can only be cleared by a System Reset. It is not cleared by a write to the RESET bit.

This bit can only be written to ‘1’ when the CRCSCAN is not busy (the BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS is ‘0’).

Bit 0 – ENABLE Enable CRCSCAN

Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables the CRCSCAN with the current settings. It will stay ‘1’ even after a CRC check has completed, but writing it to ‘1’ again will start a new check.

Writing the bit to ‘0’ has no effect.

The CRCSCAN can be configured to run a scan during the microcontroller (MCU) start-up sequence to verify the Flash sections before letting the CPU start normal code execution (see the Initialization section). If this feature is enabled, the ENABLE bit will read as ‘1’ when normal code execution starts.

To see whether the CRCSCAN is busy with an ongoing check, poll the BUSY bit in the Status (CRCSCAN.STATUS) register.
