Can I program Flash or OTP (One Time Programmable memory) on C28x devices incrementally such as one word at a time?

Yes. You can program Flash and OTP on C28x devices incrementally one word at a time. As a matter of fact, you can program as little as a bit. For example, you can program bit 0, and then later program bit 1 within single word. This is because in order to protect the flash, the algorithm will not attempt to program a bit that is already programmed. So for example, you can program 0xFFFE (program bit 0) and later program 0xFFFC (program bit 1). In the latter case the algorithm will recognize that bit 0 is already programmed and only program bit 1. Just remember, the program operation can never bring a 0 back to a 1 and that the OTP cannot be erased.
