Persistent Store (flash)

Persistent Store (PS) commands manage user data in PS keys in the flash memory of the Bluetooth device. User data stored within the flash memory is persistent across reset and power cycling of the device. The persistent store size is 2048 bytes. Because Bluetooth bondings are also stored in this area, the space available for user data additionally depends on the number of bondings the device has at the time. The size of a Bluetooth bonding is around 150 bytes.

The maximum user data size associated to a PS key is 56 bytes.

flash commands

flash_ps_erase

Delete a single PS key and its value from the persistent store.

C API

/* Function */
struct gecko_msg_flash_ps_erase_rsp_t *gecko_cmd_flash_ps_erase(uint16 key);

/* Response id */
gecko_rsp_flash_ps_erase_id

/* Response structure */

}

Command Parameters (for BGAPI headers refer to link)

Type Name Description
uint16 key PS key of the value to be retrieved

Response Parameters (for BGAPI headers refer to link)

Type Name Description
uint16 result Result code
  • 0: success
  • Non-zero: an error has occurred
For other values see Error codes
uint8array value The returned value of the specified PS key

flash_ps_save
