Security bit position FlashMagic is using differs from Datasheet

[Mucter]

Hello everyone.
I monitered the communication between Flash Magic and my Target board's P89V51RC2FN while I did Read Security bit Command.
before this, I checked "Set Security Bit 1" , "Prog Clocks Bit" option and click Start Button.

Flash Magic sended: :020000050700F2
Target replied: :020000050700F219.[CR][LF]

but in its Datasheet [6.3.4 Using the ISP] [Table 12. ISP hex record formats] [Record type 05]
says.
------------------------------------
05 Miscellaneous Read Functions
:02xxxx05ffsscc
Where:
02 = number of bytes in the record
xxxx = required field but value is a ‘don’t care’
05 = function code for misc read
ffss = subfunction and selection code
0000 = read manufacturer id
0001 = read device id 1
0002 = read bootcode version
0700 = read security bit (00 SoftICE serial number match 0 SB 0 Double Clock)
cc = checksum
Example:
:020000050000F9 (display manufacturer id)
----------------------------------------------
Datesheet's SB 's position is bit2. but the monitering data indicates SB 's position is bit3.

Additionally,
Target programed by parallel Programmer with SB on replys : :020000050700F215.[CR][LF]
It met with datasheet,but Flashmagic says Security bit unset!

Moreover,
a P89V51RC2FN programmed by Flash Magic SB on were data readable by parallel programmer!
What a Security Flash Magic is.

Let's me comment.

When Set Security Bit 1 is checked , Flash Magic sends
":020000030500F6"
But in Datasheet Table 12. ISP hex record formats
---------------------
03 Miscellaneous Write Functions
:nnxxxx03ffssddcc
Where:
nn = number of bytes in the record
xxxx = required field but value is a ‘don’t care’
ff = subfunction code
ss = selection code
dd = data (if needed)
cc = checksum
Subfunction code = 01 (Erase block 0)
ff = 01
Subfunction code = 05 (Program security bit, Double Clock)
ff = 05
ss = 01 program security bit
ss = 05 program double clock bit
Subfunction code = 08 (Erase sector, 128 B)
ff = 08
ss = high byte of sector address (A15:
dd = low byte of sector address (A7, A6:0 = 0)
Example:
:0300000308E000F2 (erase sector at E000H)
-------------------------------------
There are not ss = 00 imformation.

From my experiment,
 ss = 00 causes Rectype 07's output's bit3 0 to 1 => flash Magic uses this command by mistake?.
 ss = 01 causes Rectype 07's output's bit2 0 to 1 => mentioned by datasheet
 ss = 02 causes Rectype 07's output's bit1 0 to 1
 ss = 03,04 no change
 ss = 04 causes Rectype 07's output's bit0 0 to 1 => mentioned by datasheet

I'll look into this on Friday or early next week.

Please give version 5.37 a try.

Hi Andy.

The Flash Magic 5.37.1794 works fine.

set command:
:020000030501F5.

view command:
:020000050700F214.

I've been use Flash Magic Version 5.61.1870 for setting security bit P89V51RD2FN, it cannot set security.
Please let me know how can I do or which version support.

Otherwise I had set a security bit on a parallel programmer(All-100 from hilo systems), but
it can read all of content in flash memory from flash magic software.

Best Regards,
Kitti.

Please read the NXP user manual for your device. It says:

"When the Security Bit is activated all parallel programming commands except for Chip-Erase are ignored (thus the device cannot be read). However, ISP reading, writing, or erasing of the user’s code can still be performed"

There is a lot of useful information in the NXP user manuals...

Thank you for your valuable information.
