Abstract

Methods, systems and devices are provided for configuring a read-write memory device with a data image. The method includes determining a data image distribution based on a virtual block size of a series of virtual blocks designated for the read-write memory device. The data image is divided into one or more data image portions, wherein a virtual boundary code is appended to at least one of the data image portions. The data image portions are stored in respective virtual blocks of the series of virtual blocks, skipping over any bad block within the read-write memory device, even between the virtual blocks.
