This is a simple application demonstrating use of the NVS module for non-volatile (flash) storage. In this application, a counter is incremented on every reboot and stored in flash, the application reboots, and the reboot counter data is retrieved.
- A board with flash support
This sample can be found under :zephyr_file:`samples/subsys/nvs` in the Zephyr tree.
The sample can be build for several platforms, the following commands build the application for the nrf51dk_nrf51422 board.
.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/subsys/nvs :board: nrf51dk_nrf51422 :goals: build flash :compact:
After flashing the image to the board the output on the console shows the reboot counter and the boards reboots several times to show the reboot counter is incremented.
