20200412604 · 2020-12-31 ·

An example apparatus for a local area network. The apparatus includes, at one of a plurality of logic nodes, a plurality of ports and a plurality of shared registers. The plurality of shared registers have a port address table to provide configurable port-address assignments that identify respective ones of the plurality of ports. The apparatus further includes a management interface controller that communicates with the plurality of ports and accesses at least one register via a selected one of the ports, and in response configures or manages the port-address assignments within the port address table.

Line termination methods
10860479 · 2020-12-08 · ·

Methods of operating a memory system comprising a plurality of memory devices include loading respective sets of termination information to a subset of memory devices of the plurality of memory devices, and, for each memory device of the subset of memory devices, storing its respective set of termination information to an array of non-volatile memory cells of that memory device. For each memory device of the subset of memory devices, its respective set of termination information comprises address information of the memory system and one or more termination values associated with that address information.

Data security for multiple banks of memory

The disclosed technology is generally directed to data security. In one example of the technology, data is stored in a memory. The memory includes a plurality of memory banks including a first memory bank and a second memory bank. At least a portion of the data is interleaved amongst at least two of the plurality of memory banks. Access is caused to be prevented to at least one of the plurality of memory banks while a debug mode or recovery mode is occurring. Also, access is caused to be prevented to the at least one of the plurality of memory banks starting with initial boot until a verification by a security complex is successful. The verification by the security complex includes the security complex verifying a signature.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MULTIPLE SERIAL CONTROL DEVICES IN AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE

A system, method and storage medium for configuring and operating a plurality of serial devices in an emergency response vehicle. The system may include a plurality of peripheral devices, each configured to receive and store an address, a controller configured to transmit addressable commands to each of the devices, at least two of the devices having a first device type wherein the addresses of each of the devices are selectable by a user. The method may include selecting a plurality of peripheral devices, each configured to receive and store an address, with at least two of the devices have a same device type, connecting each of the devices to a computer executing configuration software, detecting each of the devices, receiving an address for at least one of the devices, and storing the address in a storage medium.

System and Method for a Storage Controller Having a Persistent Memory Interface to Local Memory
20200117595 · 2020-04-16 ·

A storage system with a controller having a persistent memory interface to local memory is provided. The persistent memory can be used to store a logical-to-physical address table. A logical-to-physical address table manager, local to the controller or remote in a secondary controller, can be used to access the logical-to-physical address table. The manager can be configured to improve bandwidth and performance in the storage system.

Devices, systems, and methods for configuring a storage device with cache

In certain aspects, one or more solid-state storage devices (SSDs) are provided that include a controller and non-volatile memory coupled to the controller. The non-volatile memory can include one or more portions configured as main memory or cache memory. When data stored in the main memory is written to the cache memory for processing, the data in the main memory is erased. In certain aspects, storage systems are provided that include one or more of such SSDs coupled to a host system. In certain aspects, methods are provided that include: receiving, by a first such SSD, a first command to write data to memory; determining that the data is stored in a main memory and is to be written to the cache memory for processing; writing the data to the cache memory; and erasing the data from the main memory.

FLASH RECOVERY MODE

The disclosed technology is generally directed to data security. In one example of the technology, data is stored in a memory. The memory includes a plurality of memory banks including a first memory bank and a second memory bank. At least a portion of the data is interleaved amongst at least two of the plurality of memory banks. Access is caused to be prevented to at least one of the plurality of memory banks while a debug mode or recovery mode is occurring. Also, access is caused to be prevented to the at least one of the plurality of memory banks starting with initial boot until a verification by a security complex is successful. The verification by the security complex includes the security complex verifying a signature.
