Flash Media Drivers

  • Article

A flash media driver (FMD) is a pluggable component that performs the actual input and output of data to a flash memory device. A FMD contains all of the device-specific code necessary for read, write, and erase commands to a flash memory device. You can link a FMD with a flash abstraction layer (FAL) to create a block driver that a file system such as FAT can use. You can also link a FMD with a boot loader so that the boot loader can flash an operating system (OS) image.
