Problem with flash_manager_entry_alloc

[Gerry]

Hi, 

We use the flash manager to store our custom data structure in flash.

Since it growed and eceeded FLASH_MANAGER_ENTRY_MAX_SIZE we get an assert in flash_manager_entry_alloc() as expected.

How can a structure larger then FLASH_MANAGER_ENTRY_MAX_SIZE be saved in flash?

Best regards 

Gerry

Using Mesh_SDK 2.0.1  and nRF5_SDK_15.0.0

Hello,

Just wanted to tell you that I'm working on it. Will reply back soon.

Thanks Hakon

It should be possible to increase FLASH_MANAGER_ENTRY_MAX_SIZE to the desired value, as long as FLASH_MANAGER_POOL_SIZE is large enough to hold it.

[Gerry]

Thanks Hakon

This helped to double the space. Is it also possible to enhance FLASH_MANAGER_POOL_SIZE or what could be done else, if this limit is reached?

Kind regards

I'm not sure. Do you need more space than FLASH_MANAGER_POOL_SIZE to fit your structure?

[Gerry]

Yes, FLASH_MANAGER_POOL_SIZE  is 256 Bytes only and we need to store a list and configuration data. Together I guess it will be about 500 Bytes.

I found out it is possible to change FLASH_MANAGER_POOL_SIZE, as long as the flash is big enough.
