Copy Locked Chip PIC18F2320 Eeprom data file and flash program code to blank Microcontroller PIC18F2320 which will provide the exact same functions as original clone IC, normally the status of target IC will be as unlocked one;
The Flash Program Memory and EEPROM data memory are organized in pages. The pages are word accessible for the Flash and byte accessible for the EEPROM. Table 7-2 on page 14 shows the Flash Program Memory organization.
Flash write and erase operations are performed on one page at a time, while reading the Flash is done one byte at a time. For Flash access the Z-pointer (Z[m:n]) is used for addressing. The most significant bits in the address (FPAGE) gives the page number and the least significant address bits (FWORD) gives the word when IC code extraction.
Table 7-3 on page 14 shows EEPROM memory organization for the PIC18F2320 devices. EEEPROM write and erase operations can be performed one page or one byte at a time, while reading the EEPROM is done one byte at a time. For EEPROM access the NVM Address Register (ADDR[m:n]) is used for addressing. The most significant bits in the address (E2PAGE) gives the page number and the least significant address bits (E2BYTE) gives the byte if the firmware memory of microcontroller can be extracted.
The PIC18F2320 has a Direct Memory Access (DMA) Controller to move data between memories and peripherals in the data space. The DMA controller uses the same data bus as the CPU to transfer data. It has 4 channels that can be configured independently. Each DMA channel can perform data transfers in blocks of configurable size from 1 to 64K bytes. A repeat counter can be used to repeat each block transfer for single transactions up to 16M bytes. Each DMA channel can be configured to access the source and destination memory address with incrementing, decrementing or static addressing. The addressing is independent for source and destination address after copy microcontroller program.
When the transaction is complete the original source and destination address can automatically be reloaded to be ready for the next transaction. The DMAC can access all the peripherals through their I/O memory registers, and the DMA may be used for automatic transfer of data to/from communication modules, as well as automatic data retrieval from ADC conversions, data transfer to DAC conversions, or data transfer to or from port pins. A wide range of transfer triggers is available from the peripherals, Event System and software.
Each DMA channel has different transfer triggers. To allow for continuous transfers, two channels can be interlinked so that the second takes over the transfer when the first is finished and vice versa. The DMA controller can read from memory mapped EEPROM, but it cannot write to the EEPROM or access the Flash.
