SD Memory Slave Controller
The SD Memory Slave controller is designed to reside within SD Memory card.
Overview
The SD Memory Slave controller is designed to reside within SD Memory card. This slave controller provides simple and general-purpose 8-bit interface to user application. This controller handles the SD bus protocol on the card interface side and forwards only the data transfer requests to user logic interface.

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.
