thank you very much, Vidar Berg. I used the SDK14.0, S132 v5.0.x) bootloader address:0x78000. After many times test, I found it's the sd_flash_write function sometime return NRF_ERROR_BUSY, which result the data lost. and increase the delay time after sd_flash_erase and sd_flash_write, also return NRF_ERROR_BUSY sometime.

#define USER_DATA_ADDR2  (0x06F000)
#define FLASH_PAGE_SIZE  (0x1000)   //==4096

typedef __packed struct 
{
	uint32_t m_flag;  		//------------------------------------------4
	uint8_t  m_batchID[3];	// ------------------------------------3

	uint8_t m_pn_mark[2];	//------------------------------------------2
	uint8_t m_level[3];		//------------------------------------------3
	uint8_t m_pn_name[8];	// ---------------------------------8
	uint8_t m_pn_dat[8][500];//-----------------------------4000
	uint8_t m_rev[4];		//------------------------------------------4
	
}TM_CONFIG2; //---------------------4024bytes

uint32_t refresh_flash_config_data(void)
{
	TM_CONFIG2 sector2;
	uint32_t err_code = NRF_SUCCESS;
	uint8_t i = 0;
	
	memcpy(&sector2, (uint32_t *)USER_DATA_ADDR2, sizeof(TM_CONFIG2));

	//------------------------------------------------------------
	err_code = sd_flash_page_erase( USER_DATA_ADDR2/FLASH_PAGE_SIZE );  //
	nrf_delay_ms(300);
	if(err_code!=NRF_SUCCESS)
	{
		NRF_LOG_PRINTF("erase Flash 2 fail!\n")
	}
	
        //some code here, modify the content of sector2
        //...

	err_code = sd_flash_write( (uint32_t *)USER_DATA_ADDR2, (const uint32_t *)(&sector2), sizeof(TM_CONFIG2)>>2 );  //### sometime return NRF_ERROR_BUSY ###
	nrf_delay_ms(400);
	if(NRF_SUCCESS == err_code )
	{
		NRF_LOG_PRINTF("Write Flash 2 OK!\n")
	}
	else
	{
		NRF_LOG_PRINTF("Write Flash 2 error! code=0x%x!\n", err_code);//sometime print here, code=0x11
	}
	
    //...
	
	return err_code;
}

Hi,

What is the start address of your bootloader, and did the data get lost after an OTA update? User data should be placed just below the bootloader as shown here, and you need to set the APP_DATA_RESERVED define in your bootloader to reserve the region for app data.
