A mobile device () includes a processing device (), a random access memory, RAM, () and an embedded mass storage device (). A first interface (IF) is provided between the processing device () and the RAM (). The first interface (IF) supports access of the processing device () to the RAM (). The mass storage device () includes a controller () and a non-volatile flash memory (). A second interface (IF) is provided between the controller () and the flash memory (). The second interface (IF) supports access of the controller () to the flash memory (). A third interface (IF) is provided between the controller () and the processing device (). The third interface (IF) supports access of the controller () to the RAM ().

Data storage in a mobile device with embedded mass storage device

A random access memory (RAM) memory module has a compact form factor and is removable from a corresponding socket assembly to allow easy replacement of the memory module or reconfiguration of the memory module during development of an electronic device that includes the memory module.

Memory device and receptacle for electronic devices

System, method, and program to perform simultaneous read and write operations in a NAND-type memory device, including: assigning a first partition in a NAND-type memory device, wherein the first partition is configured to perform read operations on high priority read content; assigning a second partition in the NAND-type memory device, wherein the second partition is configured to perform read operations and write operations, wherein the read operations are performed on non-high priority read content; and controlling the first partition and second partition to operate in a simultaneous manner.

System and method for read-while-write with NAND memory device

The present invention relates to a portable radio communication equipment () for a wireless communication system, with a download means for downloading from an external server () during a first operational state of the equipment () update information for updating software of the equipment (), a flash memory () for storing the downloaded update information and an update means for starting and controlling during a second operational state of the equipment () the updating process according to the update information stored in the flash memory (), characterized in that the download means during said first operational state obtains an information text containing information for a user on the updating process, adapts the information text to the settings of the equipment () and stores the adapted information in the flash memory () and that the update means when starting the updating process and during said second operational state displays the adapted information to the user. Further, the present invention relates to a method for updating software in such an electronic equipment.

Update of software in a portable radio communication equipment

System, method, and program to determine whether to interrupt a process, e.g., a write function, to carry out another process, e.g., a high priority read function, in a device that uses memory devices, e.g., eMMC devices, that use a single channel to carry out two different processes, e.g., write and read processes.

System and method for controlling interruption of a process in electronic equipment based on priority of the process, and program

The present invention relates to a method for managing storage area in a flash memory of a portable radio communication equipment, whereby the flash memory comprises a raw storage section for storing software code and a file system storage section for storing file information, comprising the steps of receiving size information about the size of additional software code or information to be stored in the raw storage section, and allocating free space from the file system storage section to store the additional software code. The present invention further relates to a computer program product and a portable radio communication equipment for performing the method.
