Development of a Generic Flash Device Driver for Cellular Phones: Requirements, Design, Implementation

The thesis' aim is to develop a generic device driver concept for handling NOR flash memory devices in an embedded cellular phone system. This concept describes the process of designing, implementing as well as testing the software on the Philips Nexperia Cellular System Solution platform. An overview of the current flash market, today's and future meaning of NOR flash memory as well as the Nexperia environment, serves as an introduction into this area of expertise.
