The flash media driver (FMD) is a device driver that performs the actual input and output of data to a flash memory device. An FMD contains all of the device-specific code necessary for read, write, and erase commands to the flash memory device. You can link the FMD with the flash abstraction layer (FAL) to create a block driver that a file system such as FAT can use. You can also link the FMD with a boot loader so that the boot loader can flash a run-time image.
