11 Conclusion

This application report has proven that the F29H85x Real-Time Controller is capable of utilizing its internal Flash to emulate EEPROM. This allows for in-system storage and reduces the need for an external component. This is highly dependent on code size and whether or not an extra Flash sector is available for use. This document also provides designers with a ready-made driver using the Flash API library that accelerates and simplifies design.
