 * @brief       Low-level flash page peripheral driver interface
 *
 * This interface provides a very simple and straight forward way for writing
 * a MCU's internal flash. This interface is only capable of reading, verifying,
 * and writing complete flash pages, it has no support for partial flash access.
 * This enables for very slim and efficient implementations.
 *
 * A module for more fine-grained access of memory locations can easily be
 * programmed on top of this interface.
 *
 * @note        Flash memory has only a limited amount of erase cycles (mostly
 *              around 10K times), so using this interface in some kind of loops
 *              can damage you MCU!
