I do like such a progress output. But printing each KB seems a little too much from my point of view. Could even slow down the programming because of the slow serial output on some systems.
I agree that a counter is overkill.
You misunderstood me. I like this kind of output (kB or % programmed). It's just that the York's version printed one line per kByte. This seems too much. My version is simpler and prints only 1 line per 16 kByte. We can change to 32k or even more.
I suggest we continue to do what we've been doing in other flash access routines (like many of the earlier custom drivers), i. e. print out dots, approximately one per second.
Fine with me too. Even though I would prefer to switch this progress output on all FLASH access routines to something like % too. This way we have an idea how long this operation it is going to last.
