Hi,

Is it possible to erase the internal flash in chunks larger than the 512B row size? Motivation here is to optimize the time it takes for our device to upgrade itself.

Thanks!

Bryan

Hi,

The Flash erase operation happens row wise only. What are the disadvantages you are facing presently? Are you bootloading over the air?

Thanks

Ganesh

Understood. The only disadvantage is the amount of time our device is "offline" while it is upgrading (copying into flash). We have our own upgrade mechanism in which we are implementing. Thanks!
