Side effects of CLI Flasher command "flash"

Implicit erase

The flash command implemented in the CLI Flasher checks, if the area is erased, before it starts the flash process. If it is not erased, than a block erase (4kByte) is executed before the flash process. This behavoiur may destroy data around the written data.

Alignment

The start offset for a netX 90 internal flashes has to be 16bytes aligned, because of the by default enabled internal ECC protection for the internal flash area.

Recommended

Limit the start offset for any flash command to the 4kByte boundary.
