Hi,

I'm using PSoC Creator 4.3 with device PSOC4100S  CY8C4125AXI-S433, in my design I'm using Flash to emulate EEprom and I'm following the relative code example, and here I have a problem, the variable "Em_EEPROM_em_EepromStorage" within the generated file Em_EEPROM.c, is declarated only if defined "CY_PSOC6", and it is not here the case.

#if ((CY_PSOC6) && (Em_EEPROM_1_STORAGE_EM_EEPROM))

    CY_SECTION(".cy_em_eeprom") CY_ALIGN(CY_FLASH_SIZEOF_ROW)

    const uint8 Em_EEPROM_1_em_EepromStorage[Em_EEPROM_1_ACTUAL_SIZE] = {0u};

#endif /* ((CY_PSOC6) && (Em_EEPROM_1_STORAGE_EM_EEPROM)) */

Probably I'm wrong ... Have you any suggestions?

Thanks

Renato

Dear Renato-san,

Please READ the datasheet of Em_EEPROM.

In the page 2 it is written

002-Datasheet-Page2.JPG

Please read carefully after the line "For non-PSoC 6 devices,.."

Best Regards,

Hi,

I just tried generate a similar project and in the Em_EEPROM.c

in the comment of Em_EEPROM_Int, it is written.

=====================

* Fills the start address of the EEPROM to the component configuration structure

* and invokes Cy_Em_EEPROM_Init() function. In case of PSoC 6 the function

* is located in Cy_Em_EEPROM middleware library which is part of PDL. In case if

* it is utilized in the design based on non-PSOC 6 device the function is

* located in internal design wide resource component - Em_EEPROM_Dynamic.

=====================

So, I think that even if you are not using PSoC 6, Em_EEPROM will work with your project.

Have you built and tried the project?

Thanks Moto, but I have not solved...

Yes I have built the project (not yet tried), it shows the following error:

Build error: undefined reference to `Em_EEPROM_1_em_EepromStorage'

(please note that my module name is Em_EEPROM_1)

Really this error is correct because the 'Em_EEPROM_1_em_EepromStorage' is not declared,

In Em_EEPROM_1.c file it is conditioned by CY_PSOC6 define, but I'm not using PSOC6 but PSOC4, so it is false.

#if ((CY_PSOC6) && (Em_EEPROM_1_STORAGE_EM_EEPROM))

    CY_SECTION(".cy_em_eeprom") CY_ALIGN(CY_FLASH_SIZEOF_ROW)

    const uint8 Em_EEPROM_1_em_EepromStorage[Em_EEPROM_1_ACTUAL_SIZE] = {0u};

#endif /* ((CY_PSOC6) && (Em_EEPROM_1_STORAGE_EM_EEPROM)) */

Really if I force that declaration i.e. with

CY_SECTION(".cy_em_eeprom") CY_ALIGN(CY_FLASH_SIZEOF_ROW)

    const uint8 Em_EEPROM_1_em_EepromStorage[Em_EEPROM_1_ACTUAL_SIZE] = {0u};

the ERROR disappear (then I do not know it work ).

In any case, I prefer to avoid any forcing... the automatic code generation should work!

I'm following the code example "CE195313 – PSoC Emulated EEPROM".

Hi,

I found a sample I (?) wrote a while ago.

It was for fixed address Em_EEPROM, but I modified it to be without linker script.

Then I changed the device to CY8C4146LQI-S433, (TSoC) as it is the only 4100S I have.

Attached is the project with device target changed to CY8C4125AXI-S433.

I was compile-able, but I have not tested it on the real device.

Hi Moto,

thanks for your answer.

I will follow your example, even if you go over the problem because in main.c you declare   "store" (then used in Em_EEPROM_Init(..) function)

static const uint8_t store[Em_EEPROM_PHYSICAL_SIZE]

instead to use "Em_EEPROM_em_EepromStorage" as in the code example within PSoc Creator 4.3, it is declared also in your example at line 40 of Em_EEPROM.c file, but it is not reachable ... (as already written).

Best Regards

Renato

Hi ReMa_3807036

I have gone through the datasheet of Emulated EEPROM and I have followed all the steps listed to set up location based EEPROM in my PSoC4. While editing the linker script file "cm0gcc.ld" copy (custom_cm0gcc.ld), the key point is finding the line

.cy_checksum_exclude : { KEEP(*(.cy_checksum_exclude)) } >rom

in the code and adding the code segment

EM_EEPROM_START_ADDRESS = <EEPROM Address>;

.my_emulated_eeprom EM_EEPROM_START_ADDRESS :

{

KEEP(*(.my_emulated_eeprom))

} >rom

below it. I can not find the line in the linker file anywhere. What can be the reason behind this? Attached herewith is my project and linker file.

Regards

Shaunak Vyas
