Will writing inside FLASH memory overwrite the program inside the FLASH memory? If so what are the precautions that need to be taken to avoid problems?

Hi,

There are three key issues with using flash memory:

• Erasing memory is on a per-sector basis

• Flash memory lifespan

• Reprogramming locations

Please check the attached application note.

Have a great day,
Sol
