This test procedure is mainly to replace the units with traces with good units, that is, to establish a defective unit mapping (blocking) to block bad blocks. Converted to a good block. In addition, the flash memory storage system after the production is just a blank storage medium, and it must go through the manufacturing system (the operating system) for the file system (such as disk operating system DOS). ) Planning, such as partitioning (formatting) and formatting (format) of blank magnetic storage media can only be accessed by the operating system; traditionally, the above-mentioned procedures need to be implemented separately, which not only increases production The 'program' also increases the complexity of mass production. Therefore, how to simplify the production process and the final test procedure of the storage medium composed of flash memory is an urgent desire of all semiconductor manufacturers. solved problem.

With k oper and simplified procedures, it can store and store flash memory, a large number of flash memories, and the entire flash memory. That is, the flash memory can be started to allow the control blade's firmware (firmware) to automatically complete the hard case system (segmentation and formatting), which solves the need of the manufacturing-side instructions for the conventional technical standard steps. Therefore, a manufacturing-side Flash memory testing can reduce the system. On the other hand, because the firmware can be automatically divided and formatted to create a file system, the division through the operating system (DOS) on the manufacturing side is not required. The last stage of format manufacturing; in addition, by directly building flash memory on a special operating platform, you can adjust the parameters of the file system to make the flash memory media more suitable for the required operating environment. The storage medium composed of a memory body is faster and simpler to produce, and can meet the requirements of specific use environments to fill the function of the body. Therefore, the advantages of the present invention are to use the firmware built in the flash memory to automatically execute the hardware test of the flash memory and to automatically establish a system, which can not only simplify the storage medium constituted by the flash memory Production process, reducing the burden on the manufacturing system, and can accelerate the production of the entire product, and can adjust the storage media according to different operating conditions and application environments,
