I do not believe any organization will determine a standard for controlling flash memory. The fact is that MicroOS does a great job of doing it, requires no additional components, and uses only about 8K of memory to do it. Most importantly the technology involved in MicroOS is well protected with patents.

As I understand it, their are others who also control flash memory, but I believe they require incorporating additional components. Their ability to control it is no better, and may not be as good.

This leaves manufacturers with choices. They can buy and add these additional components, they can attempt to develop their own, and possibly violate patents in doing it, or they can pay eDig for the right to load memory with MicroOS.

Some standards become the de facto standard because they are there. Microsoft Windows is such an example. MicroOS could become a similar example when it comes to controlling flash memory.
