📘 EEPROM Emulation Library for STM32

A simple and reliable EEPROM emulation library written in C for STM32 (HAL-based).

This library allows you to store and retrieve non-volatile data using the STM32's internal Flash memory — ideal for devices that do not include dedicated EEPROM.

It provides a lightweight API for initialization, read, write, format, and capacity management, making it easy to integrate into any STM32 project.

It supports all STM32 series that include programmable Flash memory:

  • 🔹 STM32F0 / F1 / F3 / F4 / F7 / G0 / G4 / H7
  • 🔹 STM32L0 / L4 / L5 and others

✨ Features

  • 🧩 Fully blocking, synchronous operation
  • 💾 Uses internal Flash for data storage
  • 🧱 Configurable page/sector size and memory layout (Auto and Manual)
  • 🧠 Supports data structure mapping for easy use
  • ⚙️ Works with both single-bank and dual-bank Flash configurations
  • 🔐 Safe write mechanism to protect existing data
  • 📂 Clean, modular, and portable API

⚙️ Installation

You can add the library to your STM32 project in two ways:

1. Copy files directly

Add these files to your project:

  • ee.h
  • ee.c
  • ee_config.h

Include them in your application source files and compile.

2. STM32Cube Pack Installer (optional)

Future support will be available via the official STM32 pack repository.


🔧 Configuration (ee_config.h)

Defines page/sector sizes and optional manual Flash configuration or Use Auto Selection (define EE_MANUAL_CONFIG = 0).

/* USER CODE BEGIN EE_CONFIGURATION */

#define EE_MANUAL_CONFIG                  0
#if (EE_MANUAL_CONFIG == 1)
#define EE_SELECTED_PAGE_SECTOR_NUMBER    16
#define EE_SELECTED_PAGE_SECTOR_SIZE      EE_PAGE_SECTOR_SIZE_1K
#define EE_SELECTED_BANK                  FLASH_BANK_1
#define EE_SELECTED_ADDRESS               0x08000000
#endif

/* USER CODE END EE_CONFIGURATION */

🧰 API Overview

Function Description
ee_init() Initialize EEPROM emulation module with a data buffer
ee_capacity() Get total emulated EEPROM capacity (in bytes)
ee_format() Erase and format the EEPROM area in Flash memory
ee_read() Load data from Flash into RAM buffer
ee_write() Save (write) the RAM buffer back to Flash memory

🚀 Quick Start

Use your data structure like this:

#include "ee.h"

typedef struct
{
 uint32_t val1;
 int16_t val2;
 int8_t val3;
 float val4;

} stotrage_t;

stotrage_t ee_data;

int main(void)
{
  // HAL / system init ...
  // ...

  ee_init(&ee_data, sizeof(stotrage_t));
  ee_read();

  ee_data.val1 = 10000;
  ee_data.val2 = -202;
  ee_data.val3 = -3;
  ee_data.val4 = 4.5f;

  ee_write();

  while (1)
  {
    // main loop...
  }
}

💡 Notes

  • Flash erase/write cycles are limited — avoid frequent writes.
  • For some series should enable 'EE_MANUAL_CONFIG'.
