devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ I found this! Seems to be perfect.

The RAM Retention Example is probably relevant.

Thanks. I also use memory retention like sd_power_gpregret_get, and that seems to not crash at least when using it. I guess there is a "native" alternative for that as well.

If you don't use the SoftDevice you can access the flash peripheral directly, like it is done in the Flash Write Example in the SDK.

Right, thanks. In the future I might combine BLE and RF, but maybe never at the same time. It would possibly be 2 "modes". Is there another way to use flash storage if I only will use RF? What would the best solution be, given that I could use BLE at some point?

You cannot run nrf_esb_init() after you have started the SoftDevice, or access any other hardware peripherals that is used by the SoftDevice directly when the SoftDevice is active.

Is using pstorage is the only reason you want the SoftDevice? If so, it may be better to just disable ESB, do flash operations and enable ESB again.

If you want to use ESB and SoftDevice together your best option is to use the Multiprotocol timeslot API.
