Sure, no problem. However, debugging will be a problem as breakpoints cannot be set
dynamically.The best solution for debugging is to attach some extra ram to the
processor if possible. When your program is finished, move it to flash.
Maybe your program does fit in the 256k ram? My program is about 130k...

I do not know. Never used it. But theoretically yes, as the flash is divided in
sectors.
