ABSTRACT:
Methods for storing data in an erasable nonvolatile memory are described herein. In one embodiment, an example method includes allocating a space within a block of an erasable nonvolatile memory for an object, wherein the allocated space is within a single block of the erasable nonvolatile memory and the allocated space includes a plurality of areas capable of storing multiple instances of the object, storing a first instance of the object in one of the areas within the allocated space, storing a superseding second instance of the object in another one of the areas within the allocated space without erasing any of the allocated space, and for each of the first and second instances of the object, storing status information corresponding to the respective instance of the object within the allocated space which is within the single block of the erasable nonvolatile memory.
