I am looking for information in the kernel or elsewhere about flash usage statistics. I'm interested in knowing how many times a sector has been erased and written to. This doesn't have to be for all time, since other tools can erase and write the flash (U-boot), but just what the activity during application processing. We use the flash to store configuration files that are changeable and would like to determine the expected lifetime of the chips at use sites.
Any pointers to places where flash statistics are maintained or tools to collect these statistics is appreciated. Thank you for your help in advance.
