NAND data organization

[#1]

For small and large page NAND devices, the data is typically organized as follows:

Small page NAND FLASH (factory)

Bytes 0 - 511        : Main data payload area

Bytes 512 - 515      : Spare data area, 4 bytes

Bytes 516 - 517      : Factory bad block marker area (typical)

Bytes 518 - 527      : Spare data area, 10 bytes

Large page NAND FLASH (factory)

Bytes 0 - 2047       : Main data payload area

Bytes 2048 - 2048    : Factory bad block marker area (typical)

Bytes 2049 - 2111    : Spare data area, 63 bytes

The LPC32x0 MLC NAND controller uses the following storage approach when used with ECC:

Small page NAND FLASH, MLC NAND controller with ECC

Bytes 0 - 517        : Main data payload area

Bytes 518 - 527      : ECC data area

Large page NAND FLASH, MLC NAND controller with ECC

Bytes 0 - 517        : Main data payload area, subpage 1

Bytes 518 - 527      : ECC data area, subpage 1

Bytes 528 - 1045     : Main data payload area, subpage 2

Bytes 1046 - 1055    : ECC data area, subpage 2

Bytes 1056 - 1573    : Main data payload area, subpage 3

Bytes 1574 - 1583    : ECC data area, subpage 3

Bytes 1584 - 2101    : Main data payload area, subpage 4

Bytes 2102 - 2111    : ECC data area, subpage 4

The LPC32x0 SLC NAND controller uses the following storage approach when used with ECC:

Small page NAND FLASH, SLC NAND controller with ECC
