What is the compiler telling me here?

Can, will, someone please explain, apart from the obvious, what the compiler is telling me?

Configuring flash size...

Which parts don't you understand ?

All of this.

The flasher uploads a small program to the device RAM, triggers its execution, then starts communicating with it.
Three pieces of data are written to different regions.
The PC program compresses those for faster transfer and sends them to the device. It also sends a hash (checksum) for verification.
They are received by the program running on the device, decompressed, verified using the hash, then written to the appropriate places.

That's all folks!

P.S.
This is not what the compiler is telling you, it is what the flasher is telling you :stuck_out_tongue:
