Couldn't write and read EEPROM on STM32L0538-Discovery

[curiae]

Hello,

I  tried to EEPROM write/read test but it seems to not have written into EEPROM normally.

My defined functions corresponding to EEPROM are like following.

#define FLASH_USER_START_ADDR ((uint32_t)0x8008000)
#define FLASH_USER_END_ADDR ((uint32_t)0x800A000)

void eeprom_write_Word(uint32_t address, uint32_t value)
{
if(!IS_FLASH_DATA_ADDRESS(address))
{
return;
}
HAL_FLASHEx_DATAEEPROM_Unlock();
HAL_FLASHEx_DATAEEPROM_Program(FLASH_TYPEPROGRAMDATA_WORD, address, value);
HAL_FLASHEx_DATAEEPROM_Lock();
}

void eeprom_read_Word(uint32_t address, uint32_t* value)
{
if(!IS_FLASH_DATA_ADDRESS(address))
{
return;
}
*value = *(__I uint32_t*)address;
}

And write/read lines in main are

eeprom_write_Word(FLASH_USER_START_ADDR, 1);
HAL_Delay(100);
eeprom_read_Word(FLASH_USER_START_ADDR, eeprom_buf);

As result buffer was empty.

How could I write and read normally?

Thanks

+1 for the hint of @Andrew Neil 

@curiae Did you try the suggestion of @dmeehan in this thread?

Hello,

I think you mean about Edit/code so I'll ask again.

I tried to EEPROM write/read test but it seemed to not have written into EEPROM normally.

My test code  are like following.

As result buffer was empty.

How could I write and read normally?

Thanks

#define FLASH_USER_START_ADDR ((uint32_t)0x8008000)
#define FLASH_USER_END_ADDR ((uint32_t)0x800A000)

void eeprom_write_Word(uint32_t address, uint32_t value)
{
 if(!IS_FLASH_DATA_ADDRESS(address))
 {
 return;
 }
 HAL_FLASHEx_DATAEEPROM_Unlock();
 HAL_FLASHEx_DATAEEPROM_Program(FLASH_TYPEPROGRAMDATA_WORD, address, value);
 HAL_FLASHEx_DATAEEPROM_Lock();
}

void eeprom_read_Word(uint32_t address, uint32_t* value)
{
 if(!IS_FLASH_DATA_ADDRESS(address))
 {
 return;
 }
 *value = *(__I uint32_t*)address;
}

int main(void)
{
 HAL_Init();
 SystemClock_Config();
 MX_GPIO_Init();
 MX_RTC_Init();
 eeprom_write_Word(FLASH_USER_START_ADDR, 1);
 HAL_Delay(100);
 eeprom_read_Word(FLASH_USER_START_ADDR, (uint32_t*)test_buf);
 uint32_t test_dat = test_buf[0];
 while(1)
 {}
}

You are not checking any of the return codes from any of the HAL functions - that would be the first thing to do.

Also, your code can return silently and do nothing:

void eeprom_read_Word(uint32_t address, uint32_t* value)
{
 if(!IS_FLASH_DATA_ADDRESS(address))
 {
 return;
 }
 *value = *(__I uint32_t*)address;
}

So if the IS_FLASH_DATA_ADDRESS test fails, that function gives you no indication at all of the error!

there is an AN for your reference:

Hello,

I think it's a general explanation document about EEPROM.

Could you show me some sample sources for EEPROM read/write?

Thanks

Hello,

 

you need to check if the function HAL_FLASHEx_DATAEEPROM_Program executed successfully.

 

for example,

 

// Unlock the EEPROM memory for writing

HAL_FLASHEx_DATAEEPROM_Unlock(); // Write data to EEPROM

if (HAL_FLASHEx_DATAEEPROM_Program(FLASH_TYPEPROGRAMDATA_WORD, address, writeData) == HAL_OK)

{

// Read data from EEPROM
readData = *(__IO uint32_t*)address;

// Check if the read data matches the written data

if (readData == writeData)

{

// Data matches

} else {

// Data does not match
}

}

// Lock the EEPROM memory to prevent further writing

HAL_FLASHEx_DATAEEPROM_Lock();
