9.20.5 What is a UFC file? What is an EFC file?

UFC is the User FlashROM Configuration file, generated by the FlashROM configurator; it contains the partition information set by the user. It also contains the user-selected data for region types with static data.

However, for AUTO_INC and READ_FROM_FILE, regions the UFC file contains only:

  • Start value, end value, and step size for AUTO_INC regions.
  • File directory for READ_FROM_FILE regions.

EFC is the Embedded Flash Configuration file, generated by the Flash Memory Builder in the Project Manager Catalog; it contains the partition information and data set by the user.

Both UFC and EFC information is embedded in the PDB when you generate the PDB file.
