- What's the difference between flash parameter blocks and main blocks?
- Posted by dinny on August 9th, 2007
Dear All,
Would someone please explain the usage difference between Parameter
Block and Main Block for Intel Nor Flash? For example, except for the
block size, shall we use the parameter block for data storage£¿
I'm not sure if we could use the parameter block in our program or it
is reserved for parameter delivering for flash itself.
Best Regards
dinny

Best to read the fine print on the data sheets. For Intel I've found
that the only distinction is that they are smaller and thus faster to
erase.
I've saved program and ran from those locations. I've also used them
to save machine settings and reload on power up.

I've read through the datasheet for Intel NOR-Flash. And I've found
they just mentioned that it was designed for parameter storage use.
Yet it is not clear whether it is for program use or flash use itself.
I've saved some small block of program into it, and it seems OK for
execution.
