+# Non-Volatile Storage (NVS) Read and Write Example
+
+Demonstrates how to read and write a single integer value using NVS.
+
+The value holds the number of ESP32 module restarts. Since it is written to NVS, the value is preserved between restarts.
+
+Example also shows how to check if read / write operation was successful, or certain value is not initialized in NVR. Diagnostic is provided in plain text to help track program flow and capture any issues on the way.
+
+Check another example *08_nvs_rw_blob*, that shows how to read and write a blob (binary large object).
+
+Detailed functional description of NVS and API is provided in [documentation](http://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/nvs_flash.html).
+
+See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.

+# Non-Volatile Storage (NVS) Read and Write Example
+
+Demonstrates how to read and write a single integer value and a blob (binary large object) using NVS to preserve them between ESP32 module restarts.
+
+  * value - tracks number of ESP32 module soft and hard restarts.
+  * blob - contains a table with module run times. The table is read from NVS to dynamically allocated RAM. New run time is added to the table on each manually triggered soft restart and written back to NVS. Triggering is done by pulling down GPIO0.
+
+Example also shows how to implement diagnostics if read / write operation was successful. 
+
+If not done already, consider checking simpler example *07_nvs_rw_value*, that has been used as a starting point for preparing this one. 
+
+Detailed functional description of NVS and API is provided in [documentation](http://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/nvs_flash.html).
+
+See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.
