Flash is divided into pages and each page has 8 blocks. The smallest amount of flash you can erase is a PAGE. Is this correct. In other words you cannot just erase a block.</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 14 May 2018 16:49:12 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/34244/smallest-part-of-flash-you-can-erase" /><item><title>RE: smallest part of flash you can erase</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/131932?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 May 2018 16:49:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:52a93de4-4b1c-43e6-89ff-4516ac9b4717</guid><dc:creator>weightwatcherphil</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Vidar,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yes, that is correct, smallest amount you can erase is one flash page (4KB on 52 series).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is support for partial page erase on the 52840, but the page cannot be used until the full page has been fully erased:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.nrf52840.ps/nvmc.html?cp=2_0_0_3_2_6#concept_partial_erase"&gt;http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.nrf52840.ps/nvmc.html?cp=2_0_0_3_2_6#concept_partial_erase&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
