Original question:
Hello everybody!
I have regarding the possibility to program a Flash sector without having erased it first!
I have found rather contradictory information from the following sources:
1. This thread: . The same thread mentions that only programming Flash will not damage it.TMS320F28035: Using Flash - C2000 microcontrollers forum - C2000™︎ microcontrollers - TI E2E support...
Part Number: TMS320F28035 Building a unit that tied to vehicle ignition so we don't know when it will be powered down but need to store at most 5 values to be retreated
2. This thread: . It is mentioned that if the application only uses the program function, then the erase function will not be included in the final .out file.OTP programming on F2812 with CCS v5 - C2000 microcontrollers forum - C2000™︎ microcontrollers - TI E2E...
Can I program OTP on a F2812 without FlashAPI?
Does FlashAPI 2.10 work with CCS v5?
Can I reduce code from Flash API to use only the write to flash function
3. SPNA117A: 
. On page 4/11, the document mentions that there are several steps required to program Flash using Flash API functions, one of which is erasing the target flash.
So, is erasing Flash a necessary step before programming it?
To give some context to my question: if I want to program a sector in Flash Bank 0 of the TMS570LS1224, do I need to necessarily first erase said sector before programming it?
Thank you in advance!
Mihail
