[[RFC] 5/5] MMC: Toshiba eMMC - Part reliability improvement.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Split-up accesses into smaller chunks, to improve
lifespan, by using 8K reliable writes into 8K Buffer A,
instead of 4MB Buffer B, reducing number of 4MB write-erase
cycles. Upper and lower bounds should be experimentally
found to match the desired performance/reliability
characteristics.
