"I am assuming that the NAND, serial flash, would have a fixed blocked size with a linked list of contiguous blocks. And that NOR, parallel flash would have a dynamic allocation of flash space with pointers to any available space to fix the size of the memory needed."
I am assuming that the NAND, serial flash, would have a fixed blocked size with a linked list of contiguous blocks.
You are correct in your consideration of fixed block size......There is a physical make up, that connects every thing together, you could consider the physical serial properties of NAND as linked through electrical circuits....this could also be considered a contiguous physical condition .
However, for the most part ... link list and contiguous blocks refers to an operating system and its ability. You can organize this flash in a link list(non contiguous) fashion or contiguously....
And that NOR, parallel flash would have a dynamic allocation of flash space with pointers to any available space to fix the size of the memory needed."
Again, there is some what of a confusion....allocation of flash and pointers is a condition of an OS and how it manages through the row/column attributes of NOR. You can organize this flash in a link list(non contiguous) fashion or contiguously....
For the points posted, my comments are of the physical properties of the different flash.
