Abstract
Writing to a page of flash memory may include receiving write commands that are substantially independent of an internal architecture of the flash memory. In certain embodiments, two operand flash commands are received at a flash controller from a remote controller. In various implementations, the writing process may further include translating each two-operand write command into architecture-dependent flash commands; executing the architecture-dependent flash commands to fill a page buffer associated with the flash memory; and subsequently transferring contents of the page buffer to the page of flash memory.
