1.1.12.1.2 Using The Library

The AT25DF driver provides non-blocking API's to read, write and erase AT25DF Flash memory.

The AT25DF driver can be used in following ways:

  • To perform reads, writes and erase from/to any Flash memory address, with number of bytes spanning multiple pages

  • To perform page write to AT25DF Flash. Here, the memory start address must be aligned to the page boundary

  • To perform Sector/Bulk/Chip Erase operations

  • To interface with the Memory driver to perform block operations on the AT25DF Flash

  • Application can either register a callback to get notified once the data transfer is complete or can poll the status of the data transfer
