 * @brief Module for accessing flash memory.
 *
 * @details It contains functions for reading, writing and erasing one page in flash.
 *
 *          The module uses the first 32 bits of the flash page to write a magic number in order to
 *          determine if the page has been written or not.
 *
 * @note Be careful not to use a page number in the SoftDevice area (which currently occupies the
 *       range 0 to 127), or in your application space! In both cases, this would end up
 *       with a hard fault.
