    Hi FvM,


    Thanks for your sharing. Can't deny that readback and compare will be a good measure to ensure data correctness.


    What I mentioned previously is just the ws (write successful) and es (erase successful) bits will always show '0' (failed) if the physical memory could not execute the Write or Erase operations properly.


    Thanks,

    Best Regards,

    Sheng

@FvM and @ShengN_Intel

Thanks for your answers! Since I only could select 1 as a solution, I just chose the final reply, but both of you helped me out!

Good to know there is a link with the physical memory and that, as I suspected too, it doesn't hurt to implement a readback after each write operation.
