Detailed Description

Memory Protection Unit (MPU) Peripheral API.

This module contains functions to enable, disable and setup the MPU. The MPU is used to control access attributes and permissions in the memory map. The settings that can be controlled are:

The MPU can be activated and deactivated with functions:

*  MPU_Enable(..);
*  MPU_Disable();

The MPU can control 8 memory regions with individual access control settings. Section attributes and permissions are set with:

*  MPU_ConfigureRegion(..);

It is advisable to disable the MPU when altering region settings.

Parameters
[in]initPointer to a structure containing MPU region init information.

Definition at line 91 of file em_mpu.c.
