 I have an application that is using FDS to save settings to flash. When fds_init() is called it returns the code FDS_ERR_NO_PAGES. My application does not use bootloader or SoftDevice. 
 This is the sdk config definitions for the FDS</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 18 Jan 2019 13:38:46 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/42676/fds_err_no_pages-returned-when-fds_init-is-called" /><item><title>RE: FDS_ERR_NO_PAGES returned when fds_init() is called</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/166492?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jan 2019 13:38:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:50612b09-e87f-438a-b99a-cba38e0e4374</guid><dc:creator>Vidar Berg</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FDS/Fstorage will use the last pages of flash if no bootloader is present. Do you know if&amp;nbsp;these flash pages actually are free (i.e. address 0x76000 - 0x80000)? If not you can do a memory dump with nrfjprog, etc and see if the pages are erased/contain&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v15.2.0/lib_fds_format.html?cp=4_0_0_3_55_2_1#lib_fds_format_page"&gt;FDS page tags.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; nrfjprog --memrd 0x7C000 --n 0x4000 &amp;gt; fds_section.txt&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Memory layout:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
