Manage Your Raw Flash Storage Data with ITTIA DB SQL

July 31, 2012

July 31, 2012 — Bellevue, WA — Whenever power removal is suspected, developers of applications for mobile devices and other embedded systems tend to use EEPROM hardware for storing small quantities of data that must be saved. EEPROM devices are equipped with serial flash – a small, low-power flash memory, which is frequently accessible through a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). In order to retrieve data, an EEPROM requires each write operation to begin at an aligned offset, which necessitates batched writes to avoid excessive ware.

ITTIA DB SQL eases this process by supplying raw storage flash media with robust data management capabilities … Read More → "Manage Your Raw Flash Storage Data with ITTIA DB SQL"
