Abstract:
A record is maintained of cumulative erase operations performed at each block of a firmware flash memory device. It is determined that a number of erase operations performed at a first block at the firmware flash memory device exceeds a first threshold value. It is further determined that a number of erase operations performed at a second block at the firmware flash memory device does not exceed a second threshold value. Data stored at the first block is relocated to the second block.

Claim (Index 21):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n receiving a request to access data at the firmware flash memory device; in response to determining at a device driver that the request is a read access, retrieving the requested data from the firmware flash memory device; in response to determining at the device driver that the request is a write access to the first sector at the firmware flash memory device that does not require performing an erase operation of the first sector, storing data associated with the request at the first sector; and in response to determining at the device driver that the request is a write access to a first sector at the firmware flash memory device that does require performing an erase operation of the first sector, incrementing a counter associated with the first sector to indicate that the erase operation was performed.
