CARD_WriteAndVerifyFlashAsync

Syntax

#include <nitro/card.h>

static inline void	CARD_WriteAndVerifyFlashAsync(
	u32 dst, const void *src, u32 len, MIDmaCallback callback, void *arg);

Arguments

dst	The FLASH address of the transfer destination.
src	Transfer source memory address.
len	Byte length of data being written.
callback	Completion callback function. Specify `NULL` if this is unnecessary. This callback is called from within the interrupt handler.
arg	Arguments to pass to the completion callback function. This is simply ignored if `NULL` was specified for `callback`.

Return Values

None.

Description

This function asynchronously writes data to the FLASH device, and executes a comparison on that written data. This function immediately returns control. Use the CARD_WaitBackupAsync function to wait for processing to end. To determine the processing result, call the CARD_GetResultCode function after processing has ended.

Note

To use this function, you must first lock the access bus with the CARD_LockBackup function.
This function communicates with the ARM7 processor internally via PXI. The process will not end if PXI interrupts are not enabled.
The function uses an internal thread to execute an asynchronous process. See the description of the CARD_GetThreadPriority function for more information on this thread.
Because some high-capacity flash devices do not support "Write" operations, CARD_RESULT_UNSUPPORTED is returned and execution fails even if this function is called. See the Backup Access Overview for more details, and then use substitute functions, such as CARD_WriteFlashSector, when necessary.

Revision History
