Datalight to Provide Flash Transaction Layer and File Support for Samsung OneNAND Flash Storage.BOTHELL, Wash. -- Datalight will develop intellectual property and provide software integration support to customers purchasing advanced OneNAND(TM) flash memory from Samsung Electronics Samsung Electronics (SEC, Hangul:삼성전자; KSE: 005930, KSE: 005935, LSE: SMSN, LSE: SMSD) is a South Korean multinational corporation and the world's largest and leading electronics and information technology company. , under an alliance announced today. The new relationship will ensure that midsized manufacturers have the critical software components and development support they need to integrate Samsung OneNAND memory with operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. in consumer electronics, industrial, automotive and security applications. Datalight specializes in providing essential system software to help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) add value to embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. devices. Samsung is the leading maker of flash memory. "Datalight's software will enable OEMs to maximize the reliability and performance available with OneNAND and more quickly bring to market high performance devices that do not lose data," said Roy Sherrill, Datalight's president "Our relationship with Datalight will make it easy for many more manufacturers to use our ultra-high performance OneNAND memory to increase product value," said Don Barnetson, associate director, Flash Marketing, Samsung Semiconductor, Inc. Up to now, Samsung has provided custom software integration directly for high-volume purchasers of OneNAND. The new arrangement with Datalight enables Samsung to sell OneNAND memory for lower-volume needs, while delivering the tools and development support they need using Datalight technology. Datalight will provide software development kits for two new memory integrating products: --Datalight OneBoot is a flash transaction layer for devices using OneNAND. Designers use OneBoot to manage the interface between the operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. and NAND (Not AND) A Boolean logic operation that is true if any single input is false. Two-input NAND gates are often used as the sole logic element on gate array chips, because all Boolean operations can be created from NAND gates. See flash memory. device. It is built on the platform of Datalight's patented FlashFX(TM), a flash media management technology successfully implemented in a variety of applications since 1998. --Datalight OneBoot + File adds a highly reliable file system to the flash interface layer for OneNAND. Written specifically for embedded applications An application that permanently resides in an industrial or consumer device. Providing some type of control function and/or user interface, the software is typically stored in a non-volatile memory such as ROM or flash memory. , the combined solution can be used on its own, or integrated into an operating system for additional flash stability. Kits for each product include limited ANSI C (language, standard) ANSI C - (American National Standards Institute C) A revision of C, adding function prototypes, structure passing, structure assignment and standardised library functions. ANSI X3.159-1989. cgram is a grammar for ANSI C, written in Scheme. source code, a developer's guide, an API (Application Programming Interface) A language and message format used by an application program to communicate with the operating system or some other control program such as a database management system (DBMS) or communications protocol. reference, sample applications and tools for using Datalight OneBoot or Datalight OneBoot + File. In addition, Datalight will provide purchasers with 30 days of free product support. Extended product support will be available by contract.
