Abstract
A device includes a NAND flash memory, and a generic command interface configured to interpret both an Open NAND Flash Interface specification and a first NAND flash specification to perform an associated one of command operations on the NAND flash memory, the Open NAND Flash Interface specification and the first NAND flash specification being different from each other.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a NAND flash memory;
- and
- a generic command interface configured to interpret both an Open NAND Flash Interface specification and a first NAND flash specification to perform an associated one of command operations on the NAND flash memory, the Open NAND Flash Interface specification and the first NAND flash specification being different from each other.
A method comprising:
- providing a device comprising a command terminal and a command interface that supports multiple command specifications including an Open NAND Flash Interface specification and a first specification that is different from the Open NAND Flash Interface specification;
- receiving a command signal from the command terminal of the device;
- selecting one of the multiple command specifications to be interpreted;
- and
- interpreting the command signal in response to the receiving of the command signal and the selecting of the one of the multiple command specifications so that a remaining of the multiple command specifications is free from being interpreted.
