Common Flash interface (CFI)

The Common Flash interface is a JEDEC approved, standardized data structure that can be

read from the Flash memory device. It allows a system software to query the device to

determine various electrical and timing parameters, density information and functions

supported by the memory. The system can interface easily with the device, enabling the

software to upgrade itself when necessary.

When the CFI Query command (RCFI) is issued the device enters CFI Query mode and the

data structure is read from the memory. Tables 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30 show the

addresses used to retrieve the data.

The CFI data structure also contains a security area where a 64 bit unique security number

is written (see Table 30: Security code area). This area can be accessed only in Read mode

by the final user. It is impossible to change the security number after it has been written by

Numonyx. Issue a Read command to return to Read mode.
