In Windows CE version 2.1, there is support for linear flash devices via the True Flash File System (TrueFFS) driver that Windows CE has licensed from M-Systems. TrueFFS is a block device driver and is serviced by the existing FAT filesystem in Windows CE. Currently, TrueFFS driver will support linear flash devices only on PC Card, Miniature Card, and M-Systems’ DiskOnChip form factors. A future release of Windows CE will support Resident Flash Array (RFA) device. An OEM can customize the TrueFFS driver to include the combination of MTD, Socket layer, and translation layer that meets the needs of their platform.
