FlashStorage_STM32 Library

How To Install Using Arduino Library Manager

Why do we need this FlashStorage_STM32 Library

Features

The FlashStorage_STM32 library, inspired from Cristian Maglie's FlashStorage, provides a convenient way to store and retrieve user's data using emulated-EEPROM, from the non-volatile flash memory of STM32F/L/H/G/WB/MP1.

The flash memory, generally used to store the firmware code, can also be used to store / retrieve more user's data and faster than from EEPROM. Thanks to the buffered data writing and reading, the flash access time is greatly reduced to increase the life of the flash.

Just got an interesting info from a user of this library EEPROM write works only in a fully erased Bluepill with Chinese clone micro CS32F103C8T6.

I have a blue pill with chinese CS32F103C8T6 in it. EEPROM write (commit and put) works only after I completely erase the chip using STM32CubeProgrammer. Once there is any data other than 0xFF in any location, it will no longer write to any location. Every sample programs failed, after the initial run in that chip. Everything is working as it should on my other bluepill with Genuine (I hope) STM32F103C8T6.

I really don't know what wrong with it: the chip (I guess) or hardware design.

So beware of cheap and cloned STM32 products.
