A killer feature of the Exclusive component is the ability to retain EEPROM data during a microcontroller reprogramming. In standard workflows, flashing a new HEX file often erases the EEPROM. The Flowcode Exclusive linker script allows you to check a box in the Project Options: "Preserve EEPROM Contents." This is vital for field-updated devices that must retain calibration data.
Imagine you are building a system for a factory that counts items on a conveyor belt using a microcontroller. If the power fails, a standard variable (stored in RAM) would reset to zero, and the factory would lose its daily tally. 1. The Exclusive "Storage" Component flowcode eeprom exclusive
