Abstract
A method and apparatus to write a file to a nonvolatile memory is provided. The method may include writing a file to a nonvolatile memory using at least two headers and at least two file fragments and using only information stored in one header of the at least two headers to determine if the writing of the file to the nonvolatile memory was interrupted by a loss of power. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims34
A method, comprising:
- writing a file to a nonvolatile memory using a plurality of headers and a plurality of file fragments;
- and
- using only information stored in one header of the plurality of headers to determine if the writing of the file to the nonvolatile memory was interrupted by a loss of power.
A method to write a file to a nonvolatile memory, comprising:
- writing the file to the nonvolatile memory using a plurality of headers and a plurality of file fragments, wherein information stored in one header of the plurality of headers is power loss recovery (PLR) information for all the file fragments of the plurality of file fragments.
A nonvolatile memory, comprising:
- a memory array that includes a plurality of blocks, wherein the memory array includes:
- at least two file fragments of a file;
- and
- at least two headers associated with the file fragments, wherein information stored in one header of the at least two headers is power loss recovery (PLR) information for the entire file.

A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- an antenna coupled to the processor;
- and
- a nonvolatile flash electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) coupled to the processor, comprising a memory array that includes a plurality of blocks, wherein the memory array to store at least two file fragments of a file;
- and at least two headers associated with the file fragments, wherein information stored in one header of the at least two headers is power loss recovery (PLR) information for the entire file.
