I want to write at the end of memory ROM data in address 0x7FFFF
uint8_t tst_arr[1] = {6};
sd_flash_write((uint32_t*)0x7FFFF, (uint32_t*) &tst_arr, 1);
Is it correct?
But if I made it, in a memory watch I can't see any changes from 0xFF to my data (6).
No you cannot do it like this, flash writes should be 32-bit aligned. So if you want to write 8-bits to address 0x7FFFF then you should read 24-bits from address 0x7FFFC, concatenate it with your 8-bits and write resulting 32-bits back to address 0x7FFFC. Alternatively you can skip reading and put 0xFFFFFF at the beginning if you are sure that flash is erased before your write (or if you simply don't care about these preceding 3 bytes).

Thanks. Tell me pls easy way to write into flash 4 bytes? My ROM memory ends 0x7FFFF I suuppose, I should write into 7FFFB?
uint32_t tst_arr[1] = {6};
sd_flash_write((uint32_t*)0x7FFFB, tst_arr, 1);
Is it correct?
And how to erase this data flash?
Address for writing must be dividable modulo 4 without any reminder. E.g. 0x7FFFC / 4 = 131,071 + 0 while your suggested 0x7FFFB / 4 = 131,070 + 3. So 0x7FFFC is the right address (0x7FFFF is only the last offset in the flash memory, not the end).
When it comes to erasing the memory it works with flash technology only page by page so you need to erase whole last 4kB (on nRF51 it was 1kB). Again offset can be easily computed by taking any offset in that page and doing modulo 4096 (so address of last page is 0x7F000).
Thanks, but 0x7FFFC also doesn't work ( Any Idea?
Debug:) What are the response codes thrown by SD function sd_flash_write? Do you receive NRF_EVT_FLASH_OPERATION_SUCCESS in sys_evt_dispatch event handler?
There is no any events in sys_evt_dispatch when I call my function... Looks again to code:
uint32_t tst_arr[1] = {6};
sd_flash_write((uint32_t*)0x7FFFC, tst_arr, 1);
nrf_delay_ms(20);
What I did not correct? My be I should enable any global settings to write in flash? Or any else?
