HCC Embedded (HCC) announced today that its fail-safe Flash Translation
Layer (SafeFTL)
has been tested and verified for the entire range of automotive-grade
SPI NAND flash memory products from Micron Technology, Inc. Automotive
designers integrating Micron SPI NAND flash into automotive systems can
use HCC’s SafeFTL to ensure the reliable storage of data to the NAND
flash.
HCC tested Micron’s 1Gb, 2Gb, 4Gb, and 8Gb flash devices with both 1.8V
and 3.3V interfaces. These devices operate across a temperature range of
-40°C to +105°C. To test the memory devices, HCC mounted them on a
Secure Digital (SD) form factor board for an easy, straightforward
interface to development boards with SD card slot support for SPI
communication.
“HCC has a 15-year track record in failsafe NAND flash management and
fail safety, and we’ve put in the extra time and effort to test the
Micron automotive NAND devices individually to validate them for use
with our SafeFTL product,” said HCC CEO Dave Hughes. “Automotive
engineers – and any engineers looking for reliable storage solutions
using SPI NAND flash – can use our field-proven failsafe flash
translation layer to bring added reliability to their designs.”
SafeFTL is designed for integration with any embedded system,
independent of RTOS, to allow an array of NAND flash devices (or single
device) to be seen as a dependable logical array of sectors by the host
application. This is typically, but not necessarily, a file system. When
used in combination with HCC’s various failsafe file systems, a complete
and reliable storage solution can be presented to automotive
applications.
Further, using HCC’s deterministic SafeFTL, the operations on the flash
can be managed by the host system to guarantee deterministic execution
time such that there are no unexpected stalls when managing the NAND
flash.
To request an HCC Embedded SD form factor board to validate this
solution with Micron SPI NAND flash, contact an HCC Embedded sales
office or local distributor.
