I've been working on a project where I'm constantly tweaking and testing my embedded system's firmware. I find myself reflashing the firmware almost daily, sometimes multiple times a day. This got me thinking... is this a normal part of the development process? Do others reflash their firmware as frequently as I do? I'm using a pretty standard setup, with a microcontroller and a boot loader, but I'm starting to wonder if there's a more efficient way to do things. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I don't want to burn out my hardware prematurely. So, how often do you guys reflash your firmware??

I've been working on a project where I'm constantly updating the firmware to test new features and I'm starting to feel like I'm doing something wrong. Every few hours, I'm erasing the flash, writing new firmware, and debugging. My colleagues seem to think it's no big deal, but I'm worried about the longevity of the chips. Am I just being paranoid or is there a point where reflashing becomes a concern?
