//! @brief Functions for performing Flash operations.
//!
//! IMPORTANT: Interrupts are active during execution of all HAL flash
//! functions. If an interrupt occurs during execution of a flash function
//! that programs or erases flash or INFO space, errors will occur if the
//! interrupt service routine (ISR) is located in on-chip flash.
//! If interrupts are expected during execution of a flash function that
//! programs or erases either flash or INFO space:
//! - Interrupts must be disabled via a critical section handler prior to
//!   calling the flash function.
//! - Alternatively, applicable ISRs must be located in non-flash address space
//!   (i.e. SRAM, off-chip ROM, etc.).

//! @param ui32Iterations - Number of iterations to delay.
//!
//! Use this function to implement a CPU busy waiting spin loop without cache
//! or delay uncertainties.
//!
//! Notes for Apollo3:
//! - The ROM-based function executes at 3 cycles per iteration plus the normal
//!   function call, entry, and exit overhead and latencies.
//! - Cache settings affect call overhead.  However, the cache does not affect
//!   the time while inside the BOOTROM function.
//! - The function accounts for burst vs normal mode, along with some of the
//!   overhead encountered with executing the function itself (such as the
//!   check for burst mode).
//! - Use of the FLASH_CYCLES_US() or FLASH_CYCLES_US_NOCACHE() macros for the
//!   ui32Iterations parameter will result in approximate microsecond timing.
//! - The parameter ui32Iterations==0 is allowed but is still incurs a delay.
//!
//! Example:
//! - MCU operating at 48MHz -> 20.83 ns / cycle
//! - Therefore each iteration (once inside the bootrom function) will consume
//!   62.5ns (non-burst-mode).
//!
