&lt;p&gt;Any input on this?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can you provide some input on incremental writing to flash (say a circular buffer or an array) with minimal flash erase/write operations?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is it possible to use RAM for swap page instead of Flash based swap page?  Can you provide support for that in pstorage library?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,
Sam&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: What is the expected lifetime of swap page in pstorage?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/11349?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 06 Aug 2014 10:05:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:d3af8c6a-a6d0-41d8-afb1-71d72eb44473</guid><dc:creator>mst</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;A pity that this question is not yet answered. Also an important point in my opinion. Any progress already, Daniel? One solution might be to change the current approach and use a different page for swapping over time. This will balance the erase cycles over multiple pages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
