XMC4500 / FLASH0->FCON / Hard Fault
At this early stage of development I am getting a hard fault at the first attempt to read the FLASH0.FCON register.
In the XMC4500 reference manual I see the statement...
"FCON is a Privileged Mode protected register."
... so maybe an unlocking sequence is required. But I am unable to locate any information.

Hi,
The FLASH0->FCON, register is accessed in the SystemCoreSetup() function in system_XMC4500.c file. After reset you are in privilege mode. If you do not explicitly switch to unprivileged mode, you should be able to access the register.
Can you show your code?
Regards,
Jesus

Thank you jferreira.
Yes, as you say, privileged mode is about when entering the reset handler and all registers should be accessible. So after a few days of being elsewhere minded, a return to the problem. Code that occurs before the call to SystemCoreSetup() has been selectively made inactive until the offending code was identified. Why it is doing so is for further investigation and possibly another forum thread.

... and To Add Finality...
The faulting code is a consequence of not RTM. XMC4000 lacks bit-banding.
