Erase/Blank check actions

The Erase action erases sectors from the flash device. You can also use the erase action to erase the entire flash memory without selecting sectors. The blank check action verifies if the specified areas have been erased from the flash device.

To add an erase/blank check action:

1. Choose Erase/Blank Check Action from the Add Action pop-up menu.

   The Add Erase/Blank Check Action dialog appears.

2. Select a sector from the Sectors table and click the Add Erase Action button to add an erase operation on the selected sector.
   Note: Press the Control or the Shift key for selecting multiple sectors from the Sectors table.
3. Click the Add Blank Check button to add a blank check operation on the selected sector.
4. Select the Erase All Sectors Using Chip Erase Command checkbox to erase the entire flash memory.
   Note: After selecting the Erase All Sectors Using Chip Erase Command checkbox, you need to add either erase or blank check action to erase all sectors.
5. Click Done.

   The Add Erase/Blank Check Action dialog closes and the added erase/blank check actions appear in the Flash Programmer Actions table in the Flash Programmer Task editor window.
