Example description
===================
This example demonstrates the following features of the STR73x FLASH:
- Erase a sector
- Write a word data
- Write a double word data
- Copy one sector content to another sector
- Enable/disable the write protection (WARNING : Write protection can be only
  temporarily disabled)


Directory contents
==================
  - 73x_type.h       : Common data types file
  - flash_conf.h     : STR7 Flash Library configuration file
  - main.c           : Main program
 

How to use it
=============
In order to make the program work, you must do the following :
- Create a project and setup all your toolchain's start-up files
- Compile the directory content files and required STR7 Flash Library file :
  + 7xx_flash.c
- Link all compiled files and load your image into RAM
- Run the example

Important Notes
===============
- FLASH_WaitForLastOperation() function must be fetched from RAM since
  The first Flash Erase/Program operation is started when the WMS bit is set
  and after setting this bit, Bank 0 is no longer accessible.  
- FLASH_WriteProtectionCmd  function and all protections routines can work
  only when the STR73x is on SystemMemory boot mode, i-e while using
  the SystemMemory bootloader.
