Can't use current flash chips in that way, because write endurance.



Also, current Flash memories do not allow single address writes. At least the write endurance problem could be addressed by adding write leveling to an address translation layer. The single address thing could be addressed by a caching/grouping layer that could interact with the leveling mechanisms. Add to that an all-core state dump to a block write and you can recover to an internally consistent state after a power failure.
