Various embodiments comprise apparatuses and methods including a method of reconfiguring partitions in a memory device as directed by a host. The method includes managing commands through a first interface controller to mapped portions of a first memory not having an attribute enhanced set, and mapping portions of a second memory having the attribute enhanced set through a second interface controller. Additional apparatuses and methods are described.

Controllable cards can be selected and testing programmatically. For example, a system can include card ports for receiving controllable cards. Switching devices can control communication with the controllable cards. An output port can communicatively couple a selected card to a card reader. A controller device can respond to a command from a test system by causing the switching devices to select a card port to which to communicatively couple to the output port.

The present invention mainly discloses a storage device capable of controlling peripheral devices, which comprises a micro processing unit, a communication unit and a storage unit. Particularly, the storage unit is separated into a plurality of storage blocks and one file table block based on a file system, and parts of the storage blocks storing with device accessing files are further set to be a peripheral device controlling block. After connecting the storage device to a peripheral device and a host electronic device, the host electronic device can control the peripheral device through changing contents of the device accessing files. Thus, for the peripheral device manufactures, it just needs to develop driver software of this storage device and an application program for accessing the device accessing file, but does not need to develop corresponding peripheral device driver softwares compatible with various host operating systems, such as Windows and iOS.

Various embodiments comprise devices and methods to manage multiple memory types and reconfigure partitions in a memory device as directed by a host. In one embodiment, the device is to manage logical memory partitioning on each of multiple memory devices that are based on differing, hybrid-memory technologies, the device is further to hide an actual storage media type of the multiple memory devices from the host through abstracted logical interface blocks. Additional devices and methods are described.

A recording apparatus is provided. An adjustment unit executes adjustment processing for adjusting a delay amount of a timing signal. An input control unit executes input control to input continuously recording target data to be recorded to a storage medium, to a buffer memory. A recording control unit executes recording control for recording the recording target data held in the buffer memory to the storage medium, using an input/output unit configured to receive data from the storage medium according to the timing signal. A control unit performs control such that the input control is started before a recording start instruction and the recording control is started in response to the recording start instruction, and such that the adjustment processing is executed during execution of the input control and before the recording control is started in response to the recording start instruction.

This invention discloses a memory card access module and a memory card access method. The memory card access method is applied to an electronic device. A processing unit of the electronic device accesses a memory card through a memory card slot. The method includes steps of: detecting whether the memory card supports a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interface; when the memory card does not support the PCIe interface, controlling the processing unit to access the memory card through a first data transmission path and performing data format conversion between a transmission interface and the PCIe interface using a memory card access unit disposed on the first data transmission path; and when the memory card supports the PCIe interface, controlling the processing unit to access the memory card through a second data transmission path that allows the processing unit and the memory card to transmit data through the PCIe interface.
