ABSTRACT:
In an embodiment, a method includes receiving a request to download data into flash memory. The method also includes halting the downloading of the data into the flash memory until the flash memory is initialized. The initialization includes storing pointers in a memory to different locations within the flash memory where the data is to be stored. Additionally, the method includes storing the data into the flash memory based on the pointers stored in the memory.
