The MorphoSmart TM incorporates a specifically designed file system. This file system resides in flash<br />
memory. The file system implements the following characteristics:<br />
− File creation / deletion,<br />
− File writing / reading,<br />
− File search,<br />
− Flash garbage collector: file system is resident in flash. When a file is deleted, the available<br />
space is not instantaneously retrieved in order to optimize time execution (note: sensitive files<br />
are physically erased). In the case the whole flash is fragmented, it would take about 10<br />
seconds (depending on flash fragmentation) to process a whole garbage collector operation.<br />
To avoid such a long waiting time, MorphoSmart TM implements an automatic garbage policy:<br />
when 90% of the “free” space can be retrieved, part of the garbage collector is performed (
