Hello Team,
I am working on ARM Cortex-M3 processor based MCU and I would like to separate the software on different section based on MPU configuration.
So I understand region configuration and MPU configuration but I don't understand Access Permission. (Priviliged and Unprivileged). Moreover, I wanted to know about read only and R/W memory protection.
For example: If I configure the region 0 (flash memory) as read only, would it be possible to change R/W for region 0 after sometime or would it be only one time process?\
is there any tool available for MPU configuration?
Kindly let me know if any reference document available.
Hope below lines helps a little bit.
#1. Access Permission. (Priviliged and Unprivileged): usually, modern CPUs can works in different mode (User mode , system mode for example; usually user mode for application, and system mode for OS; For M3, naming may differ but things are similar). MPU can help to setup different access permission for Priviliged and Unprivileged (ie. app/OS) for regions.
#2. MPU configuring is not one-time process, you can change them on-the-fly but you shall follow the correct flow.
