Description

The alt_write_flash() function writes data to flash. The data to be written is at address src_addr. length bytes are written to the flash fd, offset bytes from the beginning of the flash device address space.

Call this function only when operating in single-threaded mode. This function does not preserve any unwritten areas of any flash sectors affected by this write.

The only valid values for the fd parameter are those returned from the alt_flash_open_dev function. If any other value is passed, the behavior of this function is undefined.

Return

The return value is zero on success and nonzero otherwise.
