nRF SoC flash sample
####################

Overview
********

This sample demonstrates using the flash API on a SoC internal flash.
The sample uses :ref:`flash_map_api` to obtain device for flash, using
DTS node label, and then directly uses :ref:`flash_api` to perform
flash operations.

Within the sample user may observe how read/write/erase operations
are performed on a device and how to first check whether device is
ready for operation.

Building and Running
********************

The application will build for any SoC with internal flash memory
access enabled, as it is default for SoC devices, and fixed-partition
defined over that internal flash labeled `slot1_partition`, when
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_TRUSTED_EXECUTION_NONSECURE` is not selected,
or `slot1_ns_partition`, when the Kconfig option is selected.

   Test 7: Page layout API
      Offset  0x00041234:
        belongs to the page 65 of start offset 0x00041000
        and the size of 0x00001000 B.
      Page of number 37 has start offset 0x00025000
        and size of 0x00001000 B.
        Page index resolved properly
      SoC flash consists of 256 pages.

   Test 8: Write block size API
