Stellaris^® LM3S5D56 Microcontroller
Register 3: Flash Memory Control (FMC), offset 0x008
When this register is written, the Flash memory controller initiates the appropriate access cycle for
the location specified by the Flash Memory Address (FMA) register (see page 321). If the access
is a write access, the data contained in the Flash Memory Data (FMD) register (see page 322) is
written to the specified address.
This register must be the final register written and initiates the memory operation. The four control
bits in the lower byte of this register are used to initiate memory operations.
Care must be taken not to set multiple control bits as the results of such an operation are
unpredictable.
Caution – If any of bits [15:4] are written to 1, the device may become inoperable. These bits should
always be written to 0. In all registers, the value of a reserved bit should be preserved across a
read-modify-write operation.

Description
Flash Memory Write Key
This field contains a write key, which is used to minimize the incidence
of accidental Flash memory writes. The value 0xA442 must be written
into this field for a Flash memory write to occur. Writes to the FMC
register without this WRKEY value are ignored. A read of this field returns
the value 0.
Software should not rely on the value of a reserved bit. To provide
compatibility with future products, the value of a reserved bit should be
preserved across a read-modify-write operation.
