retained for backwards compatibility reasons, but should slowly be
replaced with the new API which is much more flexible and does not
pollute the name space as much.</P

>FLASH devices cannot be read from when an erase or write
operation is active. This means it is not possible to execute code
from flash while an erase or write operation is active. It is possible
to use the library when the executable image is resident in FLASH. The
low level drivers are written such that the linker places the
functions that actually manipulate the flash into RAM. However the
library may not be interrupt safe. An interrupt must not cause
execution of code that is resident in FLASH. This may be the image
itself, or RedBoot. In some configurations of eCos, ^C on the serial
port or debugging via Ethernet may cause an interrupt handler to call
RedBoot. If RedBoot is resident in FLASH this will cause a crash.
Similarly, if another thread invokes a virtual vector function to
access RedBoot, eg to perform a <CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>diag_printf()</CODE
> a
crash could result.</P
><P
> Thus with a ROM based image or a ROM based Redboot it is
recommended to disable interrupts while erasing or programming
flash. Using both a ROMRAM or RAM images and a ROMRAM or RAM RedBoot
are safe and there is no need to disable interrupts.</P
