The spec covers the external interface. The internal implementation details is not a concern for the spec. So you can make a card that simply gives you a fixed mapping. Filesystems like FAT would kill that rather quickly. You can make one that does full lovely wear leveling and it would last much longer. Other than one dying sooner than the other, there is no difference that the user can see from the outside. Both would provide a certain number of sectors that you can access. How those sectors map to the flash chips internally is really none of the users business. -- Len Sorensen _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by [email protected] To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
