Virtual EEPROM for F0

[retro]

Hello,

Please be patient, I am quite new to this. So, I would like to implement a virtual EEPROM for my F042k6 mcu, i saw that there is the https://www.st.com/en/embedded-software/x-cube-eeprom.html but it only seems to cover STM32G0 Series, STM32G4 Series, STM32L4 Series, STM32L4+ Series, STM32L5 Series, and STM32WB Series. Is there any other way of doing this? with the Hal Driver? does it still work with x-cube? Do you guys know any good examples?

Thank you :)

There is also "EEPROM emulation in STM32F0xx microcontrollers (AN4061)" but it predates HAL quite a bit. Probably still works just fine.

I don't know of anything pre-built for this with the HAL library for the F0. It would be a good first project for someone to learn on.

Thank you for this, I will have a look over it

Figure out how you're using EEPROM, if you are continually writing values you should probably add an external device, or think about NVRAM/BKPRAM

For user configuration, changed relatively infrequently, consider just using a FLASH sector, and journalling a configuration parameter structure across the entire sector, erasing only when it is exhausted.

I only need to store some calibrations and some settings for the communication bus. Would not be more than 40bytes - it would only be written to rarely and read each time the device is turned on.
