Abstract:
An apparatus for enabling booting from a NAND flash memory comprises a NAND flash controller connected to the NAND flash memory, wherein the NAND flash memory is configured to include at least a starter section for storing boot code, the starter section includes a predefined number of blocks to store copies of the boot code duplicated in a configurable number of blocks; and a fetch emulator for fetching a valid and complete starter block that includes the boot code.
