Abstract
A method and system for booting an electronic device from a NAND flash memory includes a NAND flash controller that receives an event trigger for fetching a pre-boot code stored in the NAND flash memory. Based on the event trigger type, booting parameters are loaded into the controller including a boot frequency of the NAND flash memory. The controller searches for a good memory block in which the pre-boot code is stored by checking the first and second or the first and last pages of a memory block and fetches a portion or the entire pre-boot code based on the event trigger type at the boot frequency.
