A date storage method for FLASH memory, is characterized in that: comprise the following steps:
(1) in FLASH, distribute N number of sector is memory sector, and each sector is divided into multiple DSB data store block, and the content in the identification data storage block in each sector is data for empty mark;
(2) will the data of the identification data storage block of the sector writing data be needed effectively to identify for empty mark becomes data, and order write data in other each DSB data store block;
(3), after writing a full sector, continue to next sector write data;
(4) repeating step (2) ~ (3), until write full N-1 sector, when writing data in last empty sector, adopting following steps:
1. the in the end identification data storage block of an empty sector interior write backup mark;
2. read the current valid data write the earliest in sector, and these data are write in last empty sector;
3. current writing all data in sector the earliest and write data for empty mark in identification data storage block is wiped;
4. effectively identify becoming data from backup mark in the identification data storage block storing last empty sector former of data and continue to write data in this sector;
5. when this sector write full after, repeat step 1. ~ 4., constantly update the data in each sector, the data realizing FLASH memory store.
And the N number of sector in described step (1) is continuous or discontinuous sector.
And described identification data storage block is the first DSB data store block in each sector or last DSB data store block.
And, the size of each DSB data store block in the sector in described step (1) is identical and other DSB data store block except identification data storage block is all divided into index area and data field, in the method for each DSB data store block write data be: data are write the data field of this DSB data store block by the index area call number of data being write this DSB data store block.
And, the method 2. reading the current valid data write in sector the earliest in step of described step (4) is: read all data in this sector, the call number of more each data, the data of same index number are effective with the data write for the last time, other abandons, and then the call number of data after screening is compared with the data in other sector, be effective with the data write for the last time, other abandons.
Advantage of the present invention and good effect are:
The present invention is sequentially written in data in multiple sector, just continue during Update Table to increase and the data automatically identifying the last write of same index number are effective, other is invalid, only just can clash the current sector writing data the earliest when residue empty sector, more sector is used, erasable fewer to FLASH when visual data stores.When frequent amendment a few data, only need to write data, certain sector erasable that need not repeat, greatly reduces the erasable number of times of FLASH, improves the life-span of FLASH.Wherein the size of DSB data store block and the number of sector can define according to the size of data and Modification Frequency, also FLASH can be divided into zones of different, each region adopts different block sizes and sector number to store data, and operating any instant of FLASH, the abnormal end caused due to situations such as power-off all can not obliterated data.
