Sorry, I don't have anything in particular, just bits I've picked up talking to CF manufacturers.
Basically, a CF card is a flash ROM array attached to a little microcontroller with an IDE interface. The large manufacturers generally have custom controllers.
A basic block diagram is on page 3 (physical page 19) of the CompactFlash spec, available from http://www.compactflash.org/cfspc3_0.pdf - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
