Choosing eMMC, UFS, or NVMe? Mobile ROM Storage Protocol Analysis

Choosing eMMC, UFS, or NVMe? Mobile ROM Storage Protocol Analysis

With the rapid evolution of semiconductor technology, the capacity of mobile ROM has also advanced significantly. Nowadays, flagship smartphones hardly ever feature 16GB ROM, and the recently released iPhone 8/iPhone 8 Plus has also eliminated the 32GB version, starting directly from 64GB. As the capacity of system firmware, apps, and various files continues to increase, … Read more

Advanced Usage of EMMC Read/Write (Custom Address)

Advanced Usage of EMMC Read/Write (Custom Address)

The address-specified write function supports EMMC_AUTO_ISP (flying line programming), EMMC_AUTO (offline 8x programming), EMMC_AUTO_4BIT (offline socket 4x programming), and EMMC_AUTO_1BIT (offline socket 1x programming). The operation methods for several programming modes are the same, and we will take EMMC_AUTO as an example to introduce the “custom address writing” function. After selecting the EMMC_AUTO function, click … Read more
