Method for performing deletion process in non-volatile memory element for controlling motor car components, involves deleting memory areas including status flags, in which status state is adjusted, during performing entire deleting process

摘要

The method involves associating binary status flags (S1-Sn) to memory areas (2-1 to 2-n) of a writable memory element (1). A status state or another status state, which is complementary to the former status state, is adjusted in the status flags. The status flags with the latter status state are initialized. The former status state is adjusted during deleting the individual memory areas in the respective status flags. The memory areas including the status flags, in which the latter status state is adjusted, are deleted during performing an entire deleting process of the memory element. The status flags are designed in type of software registers. An independent claim is also included for a control device.
