When working with native NAND Flash components, the host system needs to actively manage data written and read at physical memory locations and correct bit errors as the data are read back from NAND Flash. Designers must implement the necessary ECC engine and data management algorithm in the host system, increasing the burden on host hardware, software design and validation. In addition, revision to the design is often required during the replacement of a NAND flash component. eMMC Storage is a perfect solution to negate the issues as it functions as a block storage device, interacting with the host system through an abstract interface protocol.

In eMMC, the host system simply reads and writes data to and from the Logical Block Addresses. The eMMC controller hardware and firmware lifts the burden on the host system by performing error correction and data management. With the standardization by JEDEC®, Flexxon eMMC ensures compatibility and interoperability with all suppliers.
