K64f Writing to flash within RTOS while leaving interrupts enabled

[unknowncoder]

Hello, 

I am using the program flash to save some data.

The flash block (i.e 4KB) that stores the data is not used for anything else that is the entire block is dedicated to storing data. 

Now if this the case do I need to disable interrupts to avoid memory access violations like Read while write (RWW).

As far as I understand if the block doesn't have anything else accessing it this should be fine.

The ways the flash write layer is mutex protected between threads.

Hi

The K64 has 4k sectors (not blocks). It has 2 x 512k blocks (also often referred to as planes). This means that you can't access any code in a 512k block (or a sector in that block) when the same block is being operated on (written/erased).

Hi, 

Thanks for clearing this up I was thinking of the sectors as block.
