The CEC1702 is an embedded controller with strong cryptographic support, customized for Internet of Things (IOT) platforms. The chip implements a highly-configurable, mixed signal, advanced I/O controller architecture. The device incorporates a 32-bit ARM Cortex M4F Microcontroller core with closely-coupled SRAM for code and data. A secure boot-loader is used to download the custom firmware image from the system’s shared SPI Flash device, thereby allowing system designers to customize the device’s behavior.[1]

The CW308T-CEC1702 incorporates the main chip with a 16MB SPI flash chip and a bi-directional SPI Buffer. The target board has standard power monitoring, UART serial, and clock In/Out compatibility with the CW308. JTAG pins and many GPIO pins are also exposed for prototyping and testing use.

Programming Process

Programming the target involves writing an image into the SPI flash chip, the process is detailed below.

1) Writing and Modifying Code

The MikroC PRO for ARM IDE supports programming of the CEC1702 and comes with extensive libraries and example code. The CW308T-CEC1702 shares the same SPI configuration as all development boards currently on the market so is largely compatible with code developed on the platform. The IDE allows for editing code in both C and ASM.

2) Building a Valid SPI Image

A special image file must be generated to be compatible with the CEC1702 Boot sequence. The MikroC IDE is capable of building this image automatically but some settings must be configured before running a build.

Project > Edit Project

Select CEC1702 in the MCU Name dropbox, change the MCU Clock Frequency to 48MHz.

> General Output Settings ...

Make sure Generate BIN image file is checked. Press OK on the window and the previous edit project window.

Build > Build

The messages dialog should indicate a successful build, and the image binary can now be found in the project output folder. To confirm correct build settings, check the image binary using your SPI flash software or a HEX editor. The image binary should begin with the 8 bytes 01 00 00 3E 01 00 00 3E at offset 000000, and the rest of the program should begin at offset 000100.

3) Erasing, Loading, and Verifying the SPI Flash

The SST26VF016B flash chip can be programmed by an SPI programmer attached to the SPI pins of the CW308. Attach a jumper to J8 on the CW308, pulling nRST to GND. Ensure both the target and your SPI programmer are powered. PDIC must be driven high during the programming process to enable communication through the buffer chip.

The SST26VF016B flash chip uses global block protection that must be disabled before every write operation. This is done by sending the command code 98 to the chip before erasing or writing to the device. This can be done by configuring a custom transaction in your flash programming software. Below is a table of useful information for configuring your programming software. The Parameters listed here have been tested with the Total Phase Flash Center software and the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host adapter. See the SST26VF016B data sheet for more details.

Parameter Value
deviceName SST26VF016B
deviceDescription SST SST26VF016B 16 Megabyte SPI Flash
capacity 16*1024*1024
maxBitrate 8*1000
addressWidth 3
writeSize 256
writeTime 64
writeAutoAddressIncrementSize 2
writeAutoAddressIncrementTime 10
readDeviceIdInstruction 0x9F
expectedDeviceId \xbf\x26\x41
eraseAllInstruction 0xC7
eraseAllTime 16000
userTransaction1 \x98
userTransaction1Time 10000
userTransaction1WriteEnable false

Load the image binary on to the flash chip and verify that the write was performed. If verify fails refer to the data sheet and your programming software manual to make sure the necessary command codes were sent in the appropriate order.

4) Running the Program

Remove the reset jumper from J8 on the CW308 to allow the target to power up. Startup can take some time with larger programs as the Secure Boot ROM loads the program into RAM.
