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. Table 26, Table 27, Table 28, Table 31 and Table 30

show the addresses used to retrieve the data.
