Hello John,

Once flash memory has been initialized, it essentially becomes
"write-once"
memory until it is initialized again.

So, once you have initialized a segment (128 bytes if info memory or
512 bytes otherwise) you can use a similar structure assignment to
place your data in flash. For instance, you might write something like

 	void StoreConfigData(ConfigData *configData)
 	{
 		InitializeFlashSegment( SYSCONFIG_BASE_A );
    		*(ConfigData *)(SYSCONFIG_BASE_A + 2) = *configData;
	}

Hope this helps..

Preston
