== Serial Flash NVS Banks ==


A total of 7 NVS blocks are separated into 2 banks: main bank and backup bank. The kernel makes use only of the bank 0 block 4 and the bank 1 block 1, even though it is allowed to read/write the other 5 banks. Indeed, <code>/dev/sflash0s0x34</code> access is provided to System applications and to Kernel. [[EMC]] is also able to access Serial Flash NVS through ICC and provides a [[Southbridge#EMC_UART_Debug_Communication|RPC interface through UART]] to read and write to NVS.
