<p><strong>Q</strong>: I’m struggling to find any examples for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nffs</span></code>, especially how do I setup the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nffs_area_desc</span></code> correctly.
Where do I set it up in the BSP especially?</p>
<p><strong>A</strong>: It’s all taken care of in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nffs_pkg_init</span></code>. As long as the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nffs</span></code> package is included in the project, it
should initialize itself. A few things you might find helpful:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NFFS_FLASH_AREA</span></code> syscfg setting specifies the flash area that contains the file system.</p></li>
<li><p>The BSP’s <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bsp.yml</span></code> file defines all the flash areas in the system, including the one specified in “1.” above.</p></li>
