Writing/reading data to external flash on the nRF9160DK

Hello Nordic!

I have connected a sensor to the DK via SPI. It outputs a lot of data, a lot... for 1 second of data I get 4096 entries. Each entry is 10 bytes in length.


I want to store 20 seconds of sensor data on the flash memory, that is a total of about 0,8 MB if my calculations are correct.

The sensor has a FIFO-queue so if the write operation is quick enough there shouldn't be any data loss.
Once 20 seconds worth of data is recorded I then want to send this via LTE to server, I'm guessing in chunks.

Questions:
* How do I go about this? Is there a binary write example available?

* What size should the chunks be for this example?

* Once a file is written and done, before going in to the LTE-part of the design, is there any way to extract the bin file for data validation from the DK?


Thank you!
