I don't think you need the "const" here.

Sounds good, removed. I normally default to consting a variable if I
don't expect/want it to change. What guidance should I be following
here?

Heh, I don't know... I guess since its in such a short scope it just read easier to me. But, you're correct, const is appropriate here, so I guess feel free to leave it in if you want.

"SEV: write successful to NV file\n"

Updated all messages. Should have noted the "SEV: .." format.

It's not like we were very consistent originally, but it would be nice to have the new messages start to maintain a consistency.

Thanks,
Tom
