Read size of current program #438

If I want to use the flash, how can I know which bytes are writeable? How can I tell where my program ends / how big it is? The nuke program just hard-codes 256k but that's not enough for a larger program. I can start writing at 1M but it'd be good to actually know the right spot? The uf2 is 900k but apparently that's not one to one

flash size:

PICO_FLASH_SIZE_BYTES

where your program ends:

extern char __flash_binary_end; uintptr_t program_end = ((uintptr_t)&__flash_binary_end - XIP_BASE;
