Explore the comprehensive evolution of raw flash memory support in Linux through this 36-minute conference talk that traces the Memory Technology Device (MTD) subsystem's journey from basic flash support to sophisticated modern implementations. Discover how Linux has adapted to manage diverse raw flash memory devices, including parallel NAND, NOR, and contemporary SPI-based variants, with particular emphasis on the rapid advancement of SPI NAND support in recent years. Learn about the significant improvements in robustness, performance, and compatibility that have transformed the MTD stack, and understand the practical implications for both legacy NAND system maintenance and new SPI NAND embedded project development. Gain insights into recent changes across the flash memory landscape, examine what these developments mean for future embedded system designs, and understand why raw flash technologies continue to evolve and remain relevant in modern computing environments.
