11.3.3 Format Storage Command

This command formats and optionally erases the serial flash to allow creating the file system. By default it erases only the necessary locations but optionally it allow erasing all the serial flash except the gang image location.

NOTE

Depending on the serial flash used, erasing blocks takes relatively long time. If the serial flash is already erased, then it is not necessary.
Attribute Erase Storage
Description Boolean value indicating if the blocks on the target serial flash should be erased prior the writing. Erasing the target blocks is the safe side but will increase the processing time
Options Checkbox indicating true or false
Default Unchecked
Dependencies None
