Abstract

See full text

A flexible non-volatile memory controller that provides external boot block protection and provides support for non-volatile memory devices having different sizes is disclosed. The flexible non-volatile memory controller includes a boot block protection unit that provides external boot block protection for a non-volatile memory device without internal boot block protection. The boot block protection unit prevents external devices from writing to a prespecified block of memory in the non-volatile memory device in a normal mode. The flexible non-volatile memory controller also includes a memory expansion unit that is adapted to control non-volatile memory devices having different sizes.
