Managing flash memory with intelligence
The whole idea of flash is to make memory easy for consumers to use and reliable for industrial applications, but that is easier said than done.
Much of the responsibility for managing flash operation has shifted away from the flash memory devices themselves, creating a need for more sophisticated flash controllers that combine hardware and firmware.
Axel explores the range of flash management functions and presents an example of a flash contr...

Thermal concepts enhance DRAM memory subsystem designs
Controlling thermal issues related to the CPU is often a top priority for embedded systems designers; however, the memory module is not necessarily less important.
Thermal management problems present challenging design considerations within embedded environments, requiring knowledge, precision, and creativity to diagnose and overcome memory subsystem design parameters.

White Paper: Optimize SOC Performance Using Memory Tuning and System Simulation
Memory tuning allows you to choose memory-related parameters for each on-chip processor core that balance system performance, processor area (cost), and memory size by exploring a target application’s sensitivity to these memory-system parameters.
The processor core’s instruction-set simulator (ISS) plays a key and central role in this assessment because the ISS can models and report the expected system performance, providing a bre...

Using memory analysis to create leaner, faster, more reliable embedded systems
The software in embedded systems is becoming very complex, making it harder than ever to pinpoint and stamp out memory errors.
Memory analysis tools fill the gap, by allowing you to visually pinpoint memory errors that conventional source debuggers can’t detect.
Moreover, they can help optimize long-term memory usage, thereby reducing RAM requirements and ensuring that the system doesn’t run out of memory days, weeks, or months aft...

White Paper: NAND and NOR Convergence
NAND and NOR technologies each have distinct advantages for developers and end customers, and there is a growing trend toward designing systems capable of converging these technologies.
Many existing designs deploy both NAND and NOR arrays.
New technologies such as Samsung OneNAND™ and Spansion OrNAND™ seek to offer the benefits of NOR and NAND within a single solution, while integrated NAND controllers simplify system design.
This...
