Can I use the external nor flash as program memory and data storage at the same time?

Question

I am using lpc54016 on a custom board with winbond w25q32jvss as external SPI flash memory. Can I use winbond w25q32jvss for storing the code memory as well as store some data for my application at the same time?

Answer 1

Hm. Just out of my guts: Data storage may be problematic as the number of write cycles may be limited. Look it up in the datasheet.

Answer 2

I am going to write the flash to store data just once but read multiple times. If I do so, it should be fine? As you said the number of writes are limited.
