Unlike nearly every other aspect of embedded system programming,
getting it wrong with FLASH devices can render your target system
useless. Most targets have a boot loader in the FLASH. Without this
boot loader the target will obviously not boot. So before starting to
play with this library its worth investigating a few things. How do
you recover your target if you delete the boot loader? Do you have the
necessary JTAG cable? Or is specialist hardware needed? Is it even
possible to recover the target boards or must it be thrown into the
rubbish bin? How does killing the board affect your project schedule?
