FAT file system would be unable to read those blocks causing the operating system to hang Although CompactFlash cards also have a life cycle most use NAND flash memory with hardware controllers that implement BBM This feature allows the FAT file system to flag and skip any bad blocks Furthermore there is much more storage space available on CompactFlash cards than on the NOR flash memory This space can be used cautiously to maximize the media s life cycle An effective method is to create a large empty file around 30 MB to store log data Data is written evenly over the space and when the end of the space is reached the write operations start over from the beginning of the space This method reduces the number of write operations performed on each block Storing Data in RAM vs Flash Memory Although data saved in RAM will be deleted when the system shuts down RAM storage has the advantage of faster read write access and no life cycle issue For applications where important data is transmitted immediately and directly to a host you can store the necessary log data in RAM After the host receives the data the data does not need to be retained and can be deleted Embedded computers have resource limits so integrators need to determine when it is critical that data be stored on one of the file systems When it is necessary for data to be stored the appropriate file system should be used Hive Based Registry The registry for DA 6
