Re: Flash Memory

Surely the risk on a TINI400/TStik72.nb is minimal as the loader is in ROM?
Perhaps an API could be provided that only allows users write access to a
limited 'safe' area of flash.  Code to erase part/all of that same 'safe'
area would also be extremely valuable.

Reading from flash is no different from reading from RAM.

Writing to flash is dangerous, primarily on the TINIm390 where you can
easily blow away your loader with one slip of the keyboard. Once the
loader is gone your TINI is only useful as a paper weight. This code
only available on request and with full acceptance of responsibility of
potential consequences by the requestor.
