Subject: NOR "bad blocks"
Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2005 10:04:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <436089F3.806@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,

just a thought...
Same as NAND, NOR flashes mostly have an endurance of guaranted 100K 
program/erase cycles.
If a block reaches this (theoretical) value, it should be recognized as 
bad block if erase fails; e.g. not conaining only 0xFF after erase on 
NAND. (I don't know if the "100K" erase cycle boundary is mostly 
responsible for this)
But obviously a block can wear out on NOR too after the max. number of 
erase cycles. (How) can this be recognized, handled?
