//! The Flash Controller interface with hardware

use crate::error_codes::ErrorCode;

/// Implementation required for the flash controller hardware. This
/// should read, write and erase flash from the hardware using the
/// flash controller.
///
/// This is the public trait for the Flash controller implementation.
///
/// The size of the regions (pages) must be the smallest size that can be
/// erased in a single operation. This is specified as the constant `S`
/// when implementing `FlashController` and `TicKV` and it must match
/// the length of the `read_buffer`.
///
/// The start and end address of the FlashController must be aligned
/// to the size of regions.
/// All `region_number`s and `address`es are offset from zero. If you
/// want to use flash that doesn't start at zero, or is a partition
/// offset from the start of flash you will need to add that offset
/// to the values in your implementation.
///
/// The boiler plate for an implementation will look something like this
///
/// ```rust
/// use tickv::error_codes::ErrorCode;
/// use tickv::flash_controller::FlashController;
///
/// #[derive(Default)]
/// struct FlashCtrl {}
///
/// impl FlashCtrl {
///     fn new() -> Self {
///         Self { /* fields */ }
///     }

///     }
///
///     fn write(&self, address: usize, buf: &[u8]) -> Result<(), ErrorCode> {
