Therefore, this function has been deactivated for the netIC 52, at product release.

However, since Firmware V2.3.0.0 storing a configuration into the flash has been activated again.

To use this function, beside the appropriate firmware version, a 2nd stage bootloader with V1.6.0.0 needs to be used inside the NIC 52-RE.

V1.6.0.0 is used in production since April 2019.

The steps for storing a fixed configuration to the flash memory, is nearly the same as for NIC 50-RE:

  1. Write all configuration parameters to the corresponding registers using function code 16.
  2. Set the CLR_CFG (Register 1999, Bit 6) flag within the command register to clear the configuration parameter in the Flash memory.
  3. Check the status of the System Flag (Register 999) until the flag FLS_CFG (Bit 7) has been cleared.
  4. Set the STR_CFG (Register 1999, Bit 7) flag within the command register to store the configuration parameter in the Flash memory.
  5. Check the status of the System Flag (Register 999) until the flag FLS_CFG (Bit 7) has been set again.
  6. Set the INIT (Register 1999, Bit 4) flag.
  7. The netIC now starts with the new configuration parameters.

With netIC 52, for step 2 the CLR_REM_CFG Flag (Register 1999, Bit 12) needs to be set to clear the configuration parameter in the Flash memory.
