Write flash,Four steps is needed:

1. Unlock the Flash to enable the flash control register access: HAL_FLASH_Unlock();
2. Erase the user Flash area:

#define ADDR_FLASH_PAGE_48 ((uint32_t)0x0800C000) /* Base @ of Page 48,1 Kbytes */
#define ADDR_FLASH_PAGE_63 ((uint32_t)0x0800FC00) /* Base @ of Page 63,1 Kbytes */

#define FLASH_USER_START_ADDR ADDR_FLASH_PAGE_48 /* Start @ of user Flash area */
#define FLASH_USER_END_ADDR ADDR_FLASH_PAGE_63 + FLASH_PAGE_SIZE /* End @ of user Flash area */

uint32_t PAGEError = 0;

FLASH_EraseInitTypeDef EraseInitStruct;
EraseInitStruct.TypeErase   = FLASH_TYPEERASE_PAGES;
EraseInitStruct.PageAddress = FLASH_USER_START_ADDR;
EraseInitStruct.NbPages     = (FLASH_USER_END_ADDR - FLASH_USER_START_ADDR) / FLASH_PAGE_SIZE;
HAL_FLASHEx_Erase(&EraseInitStruct,&PAGEError);    //return HAL_OK if success

1. Program the user Flash area word by word:

#define DATA_32 ((uint32_t)0x12345678)
uint32_t Address = 0;

Address = FLASH_USER_START_ADDR;

while (Address < FLASH_USER_END_ADDR) {
    if (HAL_FLASH_Program(FLASH_TYPEPROGRAM_WORD,Address,DATA_32) == HAL_OK) {
      Address = Address + 4;
    }
}

1. Lock the Flash to disable the flash control register access: HAL_FLASH_Lock();

Read Flash is easy,use pointer to fetch the value of address:

__IO uint32_t data32 = 0;

Address = FLASH_USER_START_ADDR;

while (Address < FLASH_USER_END_ADDR) {
    data32 = *(__IO uint32_t *)Address;
    printf("addr:0x%x,data:0x%xrn",data32);
    Address = Address + 4;
  }
