Abstract: In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a method for managing applications in flash memory devices. In one example, an application manager is configured to manage data stored in an application partition of a flash memory device. The application manager may be configured to receive a request from an application processor to read a first application data stored on the application partition of the flash memory device partitioned into the application partition and a second partition, and manage one or more applications stored on the first partition according to a physical block mapping of the one or more applications.
