.. _command_erase:

erase - erase flash memory
==========================

Usage
^^^^^
``erase DEVICE [AREA]``

Synopsis
^^^^^^^^
Erase the flash memory handled by DEVICE. Which AREA will be erased
depends on the device: If the device represents the whole flash
memory, the whole memory will be erased. If the device represents a
partition on a main flash memory, only this partition part will be
erased.

Use 'addpart' and 'delpart' to manage partitions.
