Blunk Announces Best-In-Class Embedded Linux Flash Storage Solution

San Jose, California, April 3, 2014 – Today Blunk Microsystems announced availability for TargetFS-LKM™, an optimized embedded Linux port of its flagship flash file system solution. Blunk’s flash file systems have been extensively in use around the world since 1995 - in routers, navigation systems, satellites, millions of cell phones, industrial control equipment, set top boxes and numerous other devices.

Blunk’s TargetFS-LKM is available as a loadable kernel module that is tightly integrated with the Linux Virtual File System (VFS). Through extensive research of Linux VFS internals and port-specific optimizations leveraging Blunk’s extensive winning design heritage in the flash storage space, TargetFS-LKM is able to provide the following best-in-class features:

  • Fast mount times and guaranteed power-fail recovery across unexpected shutdowns.
  • Demonstrably higher performance than Linux’s native JFFS2 and UBIFS flash centric file systems (via the IOZone file system benchmarks).
  • User configurable fixed RAM footprint supporting volume sizes ranging from MBs to TBs.
  • Integration with Linux’s Memory Technology Device (MTD) layer.
  • Complete and intuitive build environment that works both with LTIB and Buildroot.
  • Support for all NAND and NOR flash memories available on the market today.

Like all of Blunk Microsystems’ products, TargetFS-LKM is designed for high performance on 32-bit processors. Get the advantage of high quality software and unparalleled customer support from the actual product developers for your next project.
