The Common Flash Interface (CFI) is an open standard jointly developed by AMD, Intel, Sharp and Fujitsu. An overview about the specification is available at [http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/DownloadableAssets/cfi_r20.pdf AMD]. It is an open standard, that means it is freely implementable by all flash memory vendors, and has been approved by the Non--volatile Memory subcommittee of JEDEC. The idea behind was the interchangeability of current and future flash memory devices offered by different vendors.
