چکیده

NAND flash memory-based embedded systems are becoming increasingly common. These embedded systems have to provide a fast boot time. In this paper, we have designed and proposed a flash file system for embedded systems that require fast booting. By using a Flash Image Area, which keeps the latest flash memory information such as types and status of all blocks, the file system mounting time can be reduced significantly. We have shown by experiments that our file system outperforms YAFFS and RFFS.

Fast Mounting and Recovery for NAND Flash Memory Based Embedded Systems

Even though its advantages such as non-volatility, fast write access time and solid-state shock resistance, NAND flash memory suffers from out-place-update, limited erase cycles, and page-based I/O operations. How to provide fast mounting and consistency of file system and data for flash memory file systems has become important research topics in recent years. In this paper, we design and propo...

A Flash File System to Support Fast Mounting for NAND Flash Memory Based Embedded Systems

In embedded systems, NAND flash memory is typically used as a storage medium because of its non-volatility, fast access time and solid-state shock resistance. However, it suffers from out-place-update, limited erase cycles and page based read/write operations. Flash file systems such as JFFS2 and YAFFS, allocate memory spaces using LFS (Log-structured File System) to solve these problems. Becau...

FRASH: Hierarchical File System for FRAM and Flash

In this work, we develop novel file system, FRASH, for byteaddressable NVRAM (FRAM[1]) and NAND Flash device. Byte addressable NVRAM and NAND Flash is typified by the DRAM-like fast access latency and high storage density, respectively. Hierarchical storage architecture which consists of byte-addressable NVRAM and NAND Flash device can bring synergy and can greatly enhance the efficiency of fil...

Design of Embedded Database Based on Hybrid Storage of PRAM and NAND Flash Memory

Andorid which is the popular smart phone OS uses a database system to manage its private data storage. Although the database system supports a powerful and lighteweight database engine, its performance is limited by a single storage media, NAND flash memory, and a single file system, YAFFS2. In this paper, we propose a new embedded database system based on hybrid storage of PRAM and NAND flash ...

Exploiting Memory Device Wear-Out Dynamics to Improve NAND Flash Memory System Performance

This paper advocates a device-aware design strategy to improve various NAND flash memory system performance metrics. It is well known that NAND flash memory program/erase (PE) cycling gradually degrades memory device raw storage reliability, and sufficiently strong error correction codes (ECC) must be used to ensure the PE cycling endurance. Hence, memory manufacturers must fabricate enough num...
