Hi,

   

The PSoC-4-BLE device doesn't appear to have an EEPROM.  I've found a couple of interesting functions/guides:

   

CyBle_StoreAppData

   

and

   

User_Sflash_Write example.

   

However I'm missing some information.  E.g. is there a map of the SFlash area or is this dedicated to end-user?

   

I ask this because there saving bonding data appears to use CyBle_StoreStackData, but I have no idea where in Flash/SFlash that is storing data.

   

Any hints?

   

Thanks Dave

There is a system flash area that can be accessed separately from "normal" flash. Apart from the area used by BLE to save information there is a user area accessible. An example is shown here.

        Hi Bob, That was the example I had found. So the Ble stack saves it's data elsewhere? Is it in another section of the supervisory flash? What is the purpose of CyBle_StoreAppData and how does a user read that data? Cannot find any detail on that. There is no corresponding LoadAppData Thanks for the wisdom, Dave

The project I pointed you to does not use a CyBle_StoreAppData(). That function writes into program flash memory at the given address. No need for an API to read back, just use the address. Care for the clock changes as shown in BLE manual.

   

Download the project from above and check the write functionality and documentation.
