<avr/eeprom.h>: EEPROM handling


Detailed Description

 #include <avr/eeprom.h> 

This header file declares the interface to some simple library routines suitable for handling the data EEPROM contained in the AVR microcontrollers. The implementation uses a simple polled mode interface. Applications that require interrupt-controlled EEPROM access to ensure that no time will be wasted in spinloops will have to deploy their own implementation.

Note:
All of the read/write functions first make sure the EEPROM is ready to be accessed. Since this may cause long delays if a write operation is still pending, time-critical applications should first poll the EEPROM e. g. using eeprom_is_ready() before attempting any actual I/O. But this functions are not wait until SELFPRGEN in SPMCSR becomes zero. Do this manually, if your softwate contains the Flash burning.

As these functions modify IO registers, they are known to be non-reentrant. If any of these functions are used from both, standard and interrupt context, the applications must ensure proper protection (e.g. by disabling interrupts before accessing them).

All write functions force erase_and_write programming mode.

Define Documentation

#define _EEGET ( var,
addr   )     (var) = eeprom_read_byte ((const uint8_t *)(addr))

Read a byte from EEPROM. Compatibility define for IAR C.

#define _EEPUT ( addr,
val   )     eeprom_write_byte ((uint8_t *)(addr), (uint8_t)(val))

Write a byte to EEPROM. Compatibility define for IAR C.

#define EEMEM   __attribute__((section(".eeprom")))

Attribute expression causing a variable to be allocated within the .eeprom section.

 
#define eeprom_busy_wait (  )     do {} while (!eeprom_is_ready())

Loops until the eeprom is no longer busy.

Returns:
Nothing.

 
#define eeprom_is_ready (  ) 

Returns:
1 if EEPROM is ready for a new read/write operation, 0 if not.


Function Documentation

static __inline__ void eeprom_read_block ( void *  __dst,
const void *  __src,
size_t  __n 
) [static]
