Exclusive | Flowcode Eeprom

While Flowcode manages the hardware interface, the developer must implement "Exclusive Access" logic in software to prevent race conditions.

Pseudo-code Example for Exclusive Access: flowcode eeprom exclusive

// Disable interrupts to gain EXCLUSIVE access to the EEPROM hardware
DisableInterrupts();
// Perform Write Operation
EEPROM_Write(0x10, SensorValue);
// Wait for write completion (Hardware flag check)
while(!EEPROM_WriteComplete);
// Re-enable interrupts
EnableInterrupts();

The phrase "Exclusive" is most critical when discussing Data Integrity. EEPROM writes are not atomic; if power is lost during a write sequence, the data may become corrupt. | Feature | Hand-Coded C | Flowcode Standard

The Flowcode EEPROM component uses a simplified macro interface to handle the complex underlying hardware protocols (address latching and data sequencing).
