Sketch path: examples/getAddressEx/getAddressEx.ino

Purpose

Demonstrate safe dynamic address allocation for mixed payload types.

Exact API Calls Used

Allocation:

• flash.getAddress(sizeof(byte))
• flash.getAddress(sizeof(float))
• flash.getAddress(flash.sizeofStr(testStr[i]))

Byte I/O:

• flash.writeByte(byteAddr[i], testByte[i])
• flash.readByte(byteAddr[i])

Float I/O:

• flash.writeFloat(floatAddr[i], testFloat[i])
• flash.readFloat(floatAddr[i])

String I/O:

• flash.writeStr(strAddr[i], testStr[i])
• flash.readStr(strAddr[i], _string)

Expected Output (Sample)

Initialising Flash memory..........

Byte Address 0 : 0x...
Byte Address 1 : 0x...
Float Address 0 : 0x...
String Address 0 : 0x...

3 written to 0x...
3 read from 0x...
3.1415 written to 0x...
3.1415 read from 0x...
'Test String 0' written to 0x...
'Test String 0' read from 0x...

What Success Means

• addresses are valid and non-overlapping for requested sizes
• every readback value matches the corresponding write value

Common Mistakes

• not erasing regions when adapting this flow for flash updates
• mixing manual addresses with allocator addresses
• using String.length() instead of sizeofStr() for storage planning
