SDP: 6.3.0SP2
Target: Any supported target

Recommendation

________________________________________________________________________

1) Disable any drivers currently managing the flash memory area.

2) Call ThreadCtl() to gain I/O privileges
3) Map the flash memory area into the process address space using mmap_device_memory()

4) It is recommended to use the in*() anda out*() calls to perform the actual I/O operations using the pointer returned by mmap_*()
