at91samd: fix protect, add EEPROM and boot commands
There were two problems with the _protect() feature:
1. The address written was off by a factor of two because the address
register takes 16-bit rather than 8-bit addresses. As a result the
wrong sectors were (un)protected with the protect command. This has
been fixed.
2. The protection settings issued via the lock or unlock region commands
don't persist after reset. Making them persist requires modifying the
LOCK bits in the User Row using the infrastructure described below.
The Atmel SAMD2x MCUs provide a User Row (the size of which is one
page). This contains a few settings that users may wish to modify from
the debugger, especially during production. This change adds commands
to inspect and set:
- EEPROM size, the size in bytes of the emulated EEPROM region of the
Flash.
- Bootloader size, the size in bytes of the protected "boot" section of
the Flash.
This is done by a careful read-modify-write of the special User Row
page, avoiding erasing when possible and disallowing the changing of
documented reserved bits. The Atmel SAMD20 datasheet was used for bit
positions and descriptions, size tables, etc. and testing was done on a
SAMD20 Xplained Pro board.
It's technically possible to store arbitrary user data (ex: serial
numbers, MAC addresses, etc) in the remaining portion of the User Row
page (that is, beyond the first 64 bits of it). The infrastructure used
by the eeprom and bootloader commands can be used to access this as
well, and this seems safer than exposing the User Row as a normal Flash
sector that openocd understands due to the delicate nature of some of
the data stored there.
