Flash memory is increasingly being used in embedded systems because of its small size, low power consumption, fast access time, and high shock and vibration resistance. This paper presents a flash memory-based development platform for embedded systems in general and homecare devices in particular, and explains its key features that provide ease and flexibility in exploring cost-performance trade-off in flash memory-based storage devices. In addition to its special emphasis on support for flash memory-based storage, the platform is designed to provide fast prototyping and easy evaluation for a wide range of embedded systems.
