Wiki > Main > WhimoryFTL

Whimory is the name of the Flash Translation Layer (FTL) used in several NAND-flash based mp3 players.

FTLs typically manage the following tasks:
   * Presenting the flash as a simple block-device to the filesystem layer above
   * Wear leveling of the NAND flash, spreading out the erase operations evenly over all blocks
   * Error detection and correcting
   * Bad-block management, keeping a list of bad flash blocks so they are no longer used to store data
Players using the Whimory FTL include:
