It’s a simple fact that many consumers use embedded systems longer than designers expect or plan for. How a device uses flash storage is the number one contributor to its lifetime. When the storage media fails, the device fails – which can be costly and damaging to a brand’s reputation. In this article, we’ll take […]

NAND flash bit errors are detected (and corrected) as part of the reading process. File system metadata and frequently accessed files are read often, but the rest of the data might languish and slowly corrupt over time. Infrequent reads during idle time go a long way in preventing data corruption. Let’s say you own a […]

Floppy disks don’t have a partition table, hard drives do. What about SD cards? USB sticks? Raw NAND flash media? For that matter, what is a partition table? I aim to deliver an explanation and answer those questions, as well as offer some other angles on the topic, too. Along the way, we cover updates […]

System updates that were once occasional are now regularly required for devices of all kinds. If your device is connected to the internet, frequent patches are needed to keep up with security, feature enhancements, and bug fixes. Each patch is a test of special code the designer wrote to install updates – and also a […]

Our talk on Solving Data Storage Challenges in the Automotive Projects of Tomorrow has gathered several questions that I’d like to address. How should I estimate the lifetime for a memory component? This starts with a conversation with the memory vendor(s). They provide information in datasheets, and connecting their numbers to block sizes and then […]

Flash lifetime can’t be ignored. Late last year, Tesla had problems with the flash storage memory in its connected cars. The company was in the news again this month, when the Office of Defects Investigations released their report summarizing the MCU failures that affect approximately 159 thousand vehicles. This is interesting as much for the […]
