I am looking to confirm if the external SPI flash is required for the AWR2243. Can I simply load the image over SPI after releasing the reset in functional mode every time? Is there any non volatile storage within the AWR2243 device itself?
I attempted to format the external flash on the board I am using, however, it still seems like the parts are functional after doing this? I would have expected them to fail in someway if the attached flash was formatted and I made no attempt to load the image (via AWR_DEV_FILE_DOWNLOAD_MSG).
