Abstract
A flash memory in which a memory mapped input/output unit is used to access flash memory data when a particular flash condition is encountered, which condition is not a flash read command instruction to read the flash memory. A control logic is used to access the memory mapped input/output in order to respond to the particular flash condition when the condition is encountered. The memory mapped input/output allows real time access to the flash data without writing a read command to the flash memory.
