Root Cause

Flash memory sector approaching write endurance limit.

generic

Workarounds

  1. 90% success Implement wear leveling across multiple sectors
  2. 85% success Use external FRAM/MRAM for frequently-written data

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Ignore wear level warnings 85% fail

    Flash sector failure

  2. Increase erase block size 72% fail

    Same writes concentrated on fewer sectors
