EasyFlash是一款开源的轻量级嵌入式Flash存储器库，主要为MCU(Micro Control Unit)提供便捷、通用的上层应用接口，使得开发者更加高效实现基于的Flash存储器常见应用开发。该库目前提供 两大实用功能 ：
- Env 让变量轻松实现掉电保存，支持 写平衡 模式，无需担心变量长度、磨损平衡等问题
使用 键值对(key-value) 方式将变量存储到Flash中。在产品上，能够更加简捷的实现 设定参数 或 运行日志 等信息掉电保存的功能。
- IAP 在线升级再也不是难事儿
该库封装了IAP(In-Application Programming)功能常用的接口，支持CRC32校验，同时支持Bootloader及Application的升级。

| \flash\src\flash_env_wl.c | Env（磨损平衡模式）相关操作接口及实现源码 |
| \flash\src\flash_iap.c | IAP 相关操作接口及实现源码 |
| \flash\src\flash_utils.c | EasyFlash常用小工具，例如：CRC32 |
| \flash\src\flash.c | 目前只包含EasyFlash初始化方法 |
| \flash\port\flash_port.c | 不同平台下的EasyFlash移植接口及配置参数 |
| \demo\stm32f10x\non_os | stm32f10x裸机的demo |
| \demo\stm32f10x\rtt | stm32f10x基于RT-Thread的demo |
| \demo\stm32f4xx | stm32f4xx基于RT-Thread的demo |
最低要求： ROM: 6K bytes RAM: 0.5K bytes + (Env大小)
Demo平台：STM32F103RET6 + RT-Thread 1.2.2 + Env(2K bytes)
实际占用： ROM: 6K bytes RAM: 2.6K bytes
目前已移植硬件平台有 stm32f10x与 stm32f4xx 系列的片内Flash，这个也是笔者产品使用的平台。其余平台的移植难度不大，在项目的设计之初就有考虑针对所有平台的适配性问题（64位除外），所以对所有移植接口都有做预留。移植只需修改 \flash\port\flash_port.c 一个文件，实现里面的擦、写、读及打印功能即可。
欢迎大家 fork and pull request(Github|OSChina|Coding) 。开源软件的成功离不开所有人的努力，也希望该项目能够帮助大家降低开发周期，让产品更早的获得成功。
下图为通过控制台（终端）来调用环境变量的常用接口，演示了环境变量 "temp" 从创建到保存，再修改，最后删除的过程。这些接口都支持被应用层直接调用。
下图演示了通过控制台来进行IAP升级软件的过程，使用的是库中自带的IAP功能接口，演示采用的是串口+Ymodem协议的方式。你还也可以实现通过CAN、485、以太网等总线，来实现远程网络更新。

EasyFlash is an open source lightweight embedded flash memory library. It provide convenient application interface for MCU (Micro Control Unit). The developers can achieve more efficient and common application development based on Flash memory. The library currently provides two useful features ：
- Env(environment variables) : Let variable easily achieve power down to save. Support write balance mode . No need to worry about variable length, wear leveling and other problems.
Use key-value model to stored variables to the Flash. You can be more simple to store setting parameters or running logs and other information which you want to power down to save.
- IAP : online upgrade is no longer a difficult thing.
The library encapsulates the IAP (In-Application Programming) feature common interface. Support CRC32 checksum. While supporting the bootloader and application upgrade.

| \flash\src\flash_iap.c | IAP interface and implementation source code. |
| \flash\src\flash_utils.c | EasyFlash utils. For example CRC32. |
| \flash\src\flash.c | Currently contains EasyFlash initialization function only. |
| \flash\port\flash_port.c | EasyFlash portable interface and configuration for different platforms. |

Minimum : ROM: 6K bytes RAM: 0.5K bytes + (Env size)
Demo :STM32F103RET6 + RT-Thread 1.2.2 + Env(2K bytes)
Actual : ROM: 6K bytes RAM: 2.6K bytes
Hardware platform has been ported stm32f10x and stm32f4xx series of on-chip Flash. This is my product platform. Remaining platform porting difficulty is little. The porting just modify \flash\port\flash_port.c file. Implement erase, write, read, print feature.
Welcome everyone to fork and pull request(Github|OSChina|Coding). The open source software success is inseparable from everyone efforts. I hope this project will help everyone reduce product development cycle and make product to success earlier.
The figure below shows an ENV's common interface be called by the console(terminal). The ENV "temp" from creation to save, and then modify the final delete process. These interfaces are supported by the application layer called.
The figure below shows the process of upgrade software through the console by IAP. It use this library comes with IAP function interface. Uses a serial port + Ymodem protocol mode. You can also be achieved through CAN, 485, Ethernet bus to online upgrade.
