Abstract
A method of controlling a flash media system. The method includes providing a flash lane controller having a processor control mode and creating and presenting soft contexts. The soft contexts generally place the flash lane controller into the processor control mode. In the processor control mode, the flash lane controller stores the entire soft context, finishes executing any outstanding contexts, suspends normal hardware automation, and then executes the soft context.
