Summary

High performance microcontroller when used with external flash provides some key advantages such as cost and memory scalability. However, external flash comes with its own challenges which are addressed by the OptiFlash. OptiFlash is an ecosystem of hardware, drivers and tools that aim to optimize application performance, boot time and lower memory wastage, and so forth at system level and some of these KPIs has been verified using simulation and on actual silicon. OptiFlash also provides more features such as FOTA accelerator to accelerate and simplify FOTA implementation. Hence, with OptiFlash all the advantages of external flash can be taken without facing the challenges that external flash provides, as they are already solved by this technology.
