Types of Storages for Computing System-On-Chips
We are living in an age where we generate the same amount of data each year that has been generated since antiquity. Ever wondered how and where these peta /exa/zetta bytes of data are stored?

SD Card Host Controller
The logiSDHC is the Secure Digital (SD) card Host Controller IP core from the Xylon logicBRICKS IP core library.
Overview
The logiSDHC is the Secure Digital (SD) card Host Controller IP core from the Xylon logicBRICKS IP core library. It is designed to transfer data from the system memory to the SD card's data bus, and vice versa. Implemented DMA mechanism enables a fast data transfer requiring minimal CPU activities. The logiSDHC IP core is SD Host Controller Standard Specification Version 2.00 compliant. The IP is a fairly simple memory IO mapped hardware module providing a general-purpose interface between the embedded SW application and the SD card memory component. The logiSDHC enables expansion of embedded systems based on the Xilinx FPGA devices by mass storage capabilities. The logiSDHC is, like the other IP cores from the Xylon logicBRICKS IP library, fully embedded into Xilinx Platform Studio (XPS) and the EDK integrated software solution.

Virtual Prototyping Platform with Flash Memory
In this paper we will see how the flash memories developed using Carbon Model Studio helps to bring up an ARM® Cortex A7 flash memory sub-system with primary and secondary boot codes. Flash memories system demonstrated here can be used for early boot code and driver development for any CPU based SoC.
Allowing server-class storage in embedded applications
In this article, a new way to implement high performance data storage is presented, allowing the use of server-class storage technology in an embedded environment.
UFS Goes Mainstream
UniversalFlash Storage (UFS) was created for mobile applications and computer systems requiring high performance and low power consumption. These systems typically use embedded Flash based on the JEDEC standard eMMC. UFS was defined by JEDEC as the evolutionary replacement for eMMC offering significantly higher memory bandwidth. The standard builds on existing standards such as the SCSI command set, the MIPI Alliance M-PHY and UniPro as well as eMMC form factors to simplify adoption and development.
