Over 20 years solving flash storage problems. Whether you're using YAFFS or not, we've probably seen your problem before.
We created YAFFS in 2002 and have been maintaining it ever since. Along the way, we've helped hundreds of companies solve flash storage challenges across every industry imaginable.
Flash storage isn't simple. NAND behaviour, wear characteristics, power-fail scenarios, performance tuning—these are specialised problems that require specialised knowledge.
Our consultants have seen it all: from consumer devices to satellites, from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Whatever challenge you're facing, chances are we've encountered something similar before.
Why work with us?
Evaluate your flash storage design before it becomes a problem. We'll review your architecture, identify potential reliability issues, and recommend optimal configurations.
Getting YAFFS (or another file system) working in your specific environment. We can help with driver development, performance optimisation, and platform-specific issues.
Something going wrong in production? Data corruption, unexpected failures, performance issues? We can help diagnose the root cause and fix it.
Bring your team up to speed on flash storage best practices. We offer workshops tailored to your specific technology stack and requirements.
Have your flash-related code reviewed by experts. We'll identify bugs, reliability issues, and performance problems before they reach production.
Need something specific? Custom features, specialised testing tools, or bespoke solutions—we can build what you need.
Devices coming back with corrupted data or failing to boot after unexpected power cuts. We'll diagnose whether it's the file system, driver, or hardware, and fix it.
Flash devices failing earlier than expected. We analyse write patterns, identify hot spots, and optimise your system for maximum flash lifespan.
File system operations taking longer than they should. We profile your usage patterns and tune the configuration for your specific workload.
Struggling to get YAFFS working with your hardware or RTOS. We've done hundreds of integrations and can get you past the roadblocks quickly.
Unsure whether YAFFS, JFFS2, UBIFS, or something else is right for your project. We provide objective recommendations based on your requirements.
Devices failing in the field with no clear cause. We help analyse failure data, reproduce issues, and implement fixes.
Tell us about your project and challenges. We'll have a preliminary call to understand your situation and determine how we can help.
We'll provide a clear proposal outlining scope, approach, timeline, and costs. No surprises, no hidden fees.
We get to work. Regular communication, clear deliverables, and practical results. We work collaboratively with your team.
Fixed-scope engagements with clear deliverables. Ideal for specific problems like architecture review, integration work, or troubleshooting a particular issue.
We agree on scope and price upfront. You know exactly what you're getting and what it costs.
Retainer arrangements for ongoing access to our expertise. Get priority response times and regular check-ins to keep your project on track.
Ideal for long-term projects or when you want expert guidance throughout development.
Whether you have a specific problem to solve or just want expert guidance, we're happy to talk. Initial consultations are free—no obligation.
Send us a message describing your project and challenges. We typically respond within one business day.
