There are cases, when some data, like node address or hardware dependent constants, should be reprogrammed only several times during the whole system life. And if there is a free flash, why do not use it, instead of an external EEPROM? My question is just about such a case. Except the flash programming examples, which I still need, maybe one can reference me to a document, where is a detailed description of commands, needed for it.
