METHOD TO MINIMIZE FLASH WRITES ACROSS A RESET

摘要

A method and apparatus described herein are for minimizing flash writes across reset. When a commonly accessed variable is to be updated, an erase conscious value is written to minimize erase operations. As an example, the location for the commonly accessed variable holds consecutive values to represent a usable value instead of a binary representation. Furthermore, when the commonly accessed variable is to be read, the stored value is translated into the associated usable value for use by a system.
