ABSTRACT:
A method and system for managing memory in a block-erasable, flash-erasable, programmable, read-only memory. The system comprises a block-erasable FEProm with a block header, a block allocation table, a data storage area, a block allocation routine for selecting a block in which to store data, a data area allocation routine for selecting an entry in the block allocation table and a portion of the data storage area, and a storage routine for storing the data. The system includes a file manager to implement a file system for the block-erasable FEProm.
