Internal Flash Memory Storage

You can optionally support internal flash memory storage. Internal flash memory storage can store the run-time image, data files for the device, or both.

If the internal flash memory is the storage medium for the run-time image, the boot loader must be able to download another copy of the run-time image by using another storage medium such as a network or a USB key drive, or a hard disk. This ensures recovery of the boot loader and the run-time image from possible storage corruption. Use this same storage medium to update the run-time image.

Examples of internal flash memory storage are the following:

  • Disk on module (DOM)
  • Disk on chip (DOC)
  • NAND flash array
  • NOR flash array
