Abstract
The invention relates to a method, and an apparatus for programming data into flash memory. The method includes: driving, by the routing engine, a host interface (I/F) according to the front-end parameter set when determining that a front-end processing stage needs to be activated for the data-programming transaction; driving, by the accelerator, a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) engine according to the mid-end parameter set when receiving an activation message of the data-programming transaction from the routing engine and determining that a mid-end processing stage needs to be activated; and driving, by the accelerator, a data access engine according to the back-end parameter set when determining that the mid-end processing stage for the data-write transaction does not need to be activated or the mid-end processing stage for the data-write transaction has been completed, and a back-end processing stage for the data-write transaction needs to be activated.
