That makes sense. I will consider the case resolved then 🙂

Thank you for the feedback. Actually this would be a tiny optimization : I was more seeking confirmation of my understanding that this does not change dynamically.

Hi again

The developer confirmed that this pointer could have been a const pointer.

Unfortunately I don't expect this to be changed, as the nRF5 SDK is no longer in active development.

In order to take advantage of this change yourself I would recommend making a local copy of the nrf_fstorage.h file, and update it with this change.

Best regards

Hi Vincent

I will check with the developers if it there is a particular reason why this field wasn't defined as a const pointer. Normally this would imply that the values might change at runtime, but I agree that doesn't seem very likely for these values.

Best regards
