From space satellites to consumer devices, YAFFS delivers reliability where it matters most.
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) launched in April 2018 with a mission to discover new exoplanets. Onboard, YAFFS manages critical data storage.
The challenge: In space, there's no way to repair a corrupted file system. Power anomalies happen. Radiation causes bit flips. The storage system must be absolutely reliable—there are no second chances.
The solution: YAFFS was selected for its proven power-fail safety and robust design. Its ability to recover automatically from any unexpected event made it the right choice for a mission where failure isn't an option.
The result: Over 7 years of continuous operation in space. TESS has discovered thousands of exoplanet candidates, with YAFFS reliably storing and managing the data throughout.
7+ Years in Space
Continuous operation on NASA's TESS satellite since 2018, handling critical science data storage in one of the harshest environments imaginable.
Set-top boxes, digital cameras, smart home devices, and entertainment systems. These devices are frequently power-cycled by users without proper shutdown procedures.
YAFFS ensures that pulling the plug doesn't mean losing settings, recordings, or corrupting the device firmware.
Factory automation, process control, monitoring systems, and industrial IoT. These systems run 24/7 in environments where power quality isn't guaranteed.
When a power dip hits the factory floor, YAFFS keeps your PLCs, HMIs, and data loggers intact.
Infotainment systems, dashcams, telematics, and advanced driver assistance. Vehicles experience harsh electrical environments with frequent power transients.
Engine start, stop, cranking, and battery disconnection—YAFFS handles the electrical chaos of automotive environments.
Diagnostic equipment, patient monitors, portable devices, and life-critical systems. Medical devices demand the highest reliability standards.
When patient data and device function are on the line, there's no room for file system errors.
Satellites, avionics, military systems, and mission-critical applications. When you can't send a technician to fix it, the system must be self-recovering.
From NASA satellites to defence contractors, YAFFS is trusted where failure isn't an option.
Routers, switches, access points, and telecommunications equipment. Network infrastructure must survive power events and maintain configuration integrity.
When the power comes back, your network device should too—with all its settings intact.
Companies across industries rely on YAFFS for their embedded storage needs.
And millions of devices from companies worldwide.
Store your device firmware on YAFFS-managed flash. Safe firmware updates with automatic rollback capability if something goes wrong during the update process.
Device settings, calibration data, user preferences. YAFFS ensures configuration changes are atomic—you'll never end up with half-written, corrupted settings.
System logs, event records, diagnostic data. Continuous logging without fear of corrupting the log file or losing data when power fails.
Sensor data, measurements, recordings. Whether it's a dashcam, data logger, or scientific instrument, YAFFS keeps your recorded data safe.
General-purpose file storage for applications running on your embedded device. Standard file system interface with reliable underlying storage.
Handle OTA updates safely with YAFFS. Partial downloads, interrupted updates, and power failures during updates—YAFFS ensures your device stays recoverable.
If your embedded system uses flash storage and reliability matters, YAFFS is likely a good fit. Talk to us about your specific requirements.
