Field-proven performance
with time-saving versatility

Tuxera FlashFX® Tera is a flash memory manager – or Flash Translation Layer (FTL) – that frees developers from the volatility and constraints of a single-source flash memory driver. With support for hundreds of NAND and NOR parts, FlashFX Tera offers unprecedented versatility and control. Its patented bad block management technology provides a robust solution for ensuring data is not corrupted. When used in conjunction with Tuxera’s file systems, you get complete flash memory management for nearly any embedded system with any type of media and performance requirement.

Why choose Tuxera FlashFX Tera

Take control over data at risk

Consistent, uncorrupted data

Designed for your most data-critical embedded use cases. FlashFX Tera ensures data is always consistent with software-based error correcting codes (ECC), while also supporting hardware-based ECCs. Plus, FlashFX Tera's patented bad block technology dynamically remaps bad blocks to good blocks, to ensure data is not corrupted.

Extend memory lifetime

Maximum flash lifetime

Make your flash chip more robust. Tuxera's sophisticated static and dynamic wear-leveling algorithms ensure cells are used evenly, effectively mitigating flash wear-out phenomena. These algorithms can be precision-tuned to match the performance requirements for your specific use case.

Uncompromising performance

Achieve superior performance regardless of the file system. FlashFX Tera's multi-threaded architecture reduces latency between multiple flash access requests, and its flash drivers provide fast read and write speeds.

Get to market faster

Intelligently designed to accelerate your development process. FlashFX Tera is quick and easy to port to new architectures. It's compatible with the Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI) standard and works with virtually every NAND and NOR flash device.
