Abstract:
Methods and apparatus related to sharing Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) flash memory in a multi-node server SoC (System on Chip) platform environment are described. In one embodiment, multi-port non-volatile memory is shared by a plurality of System on Chip (SoC) devices. Each of the plurality of SoC devices comprises controller logic to control access to the multi-port non-volatile memory and/or to translate a host referenced address of a memory access request to a linear address space and a physical address space of the multi-port non-volatile memory. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
