The title of the thread is, "How to write one or two bytes" - and that was the initial question.

That question has been answered, and you are now asking a different question.

You should edit the title of the thread so that people who might know the answer to the new question will know what you're now asking.

I don't know.

Hello,

I have read this above link document but still confused for configuration for storing 73KB data. Now I am getting this error FDS_ERR_RECORD_TOO_LARGE. Currently i have set

FDS_VIRTUAL_PAGES 10

FDS_VIRTUAL_PAGE_SIZE 2048

in sdk_config.h will please guide me how i increase the record size foe storing 73KB data.

Thanks......

Thanks for fast reply....

Here is below function that i am currently using:

  ret_code_t ret = fds_write(FILE_ID, REC_KEY,data_to_store,length);
  if (ret == FDS_SUCCESS) {
    NRF_LOG_DEBUG("FDS stored");
  } else {
    NRF_LOG_DEBUG("FDS failed error code:%d", ret);
  }

Lets say FILE_ID = 0x0003 & KEC_KEY = 0x1111

data_to_store[length]; & length = 73KB.

Ques:

Is it possible to store 73KB data in one request of fds_write(..); with above FILE_ID & KEC_KEY ?
How use FDS_VIRTUAL_PAGES & FDS_VIRTUAL_PAGE_SIZE in available in sdk_config.h for storing 73KB data.

Thanks..!!!

Yes, and also i am able to stored some small about of data into flash using FDS.

[quote userid="6462" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/40827/how-i-write-one-or-two-bytes-into-flash-memory-using-fds-lib/163055"]Do you actually have that much Flash space available?[/quote]

Yes, We are using nRF52840 chip and having 1Mb flash memory, currently the application program occupy near about 215KB. Remaining flash size is available to store 73KB data.

Will you please guide me the way for how i can store this data?

Thanks...

Have you studied the FDS documentation?

It tells you that FDS works with Records - not individual bytes.

So you create a Record, and store your data into that Record.

Then you can read the Record, and update the Record.

Have you looked at the FDS example?
