MPC5674F Processor and 32-bit address

[thiefjack]

Homework Statement

I'm not sure where to start with the following question. Can anyone point me in the right direction? It is part of some challenging questions I was given and I'd like to try to learn how to solve them.

Assume unsigned32 X; Consider the MPC5674F processor. The 32 bit address of the Flash B Shadow Block starts at X. Use whatever resources you have to find X.

Homework Equations

None.

The Attempt at a Solution

I'm not sure even where to start! I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction towards at least starting off.

It's not clear what the goal is here, is it to find where Flash B is located in the memory address space? Is it restricted to a range of addresses or could it be anywhere? Assuming that there's some way to write and read memory to identify the Flash B address range, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to be writing and reading random locations in the memory address space, since that it could mess up other devices that also use a part of the memory address space.

Yes, the goal is to find where Flash B is located in the memory address space.
However, I have no idea as to where I could start looking.

If there is no specified range, then you need to probe every address that is a multiple of the size of Flash B, assuming there's some handshake sequence that works with any address within range of Flash B. I don't like this idea because poking a random memory locations could mess up something else.
