@seb Is it possible to use this method with encrypted flash? I mean, is application capable of writing/modifying the json file if the flash is encrypted? And if so, does these changes count for those 3 FW flashs overs USB?

You can access files on the device's flash just like you would any other file in python:

with open("/flash/my_config.json", 'w') as conf_file:
    conf_file.write(json.dumps(my_config_dict))

with open("/flash/my_config.json", 'r') as conf_file:
    my_config_dict =  json.loads(conf_file.read())

I use JSON file for this. In my application class instance the config is a dictionary. You can call json.dumps() on it and write the result into a file.

Later you can read the string from the file and call json.loads() on the result to "create" config dictionary.

Consider NVS if storing integers is all you need.
