    Abstract: Disclosed are devices and methods for improved automotive electronic control unit reliability and safety during power standby mode. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising recording statistics of a dynamic random-access memory in a device, while the device is in a power on state; detecting a command to enter a standby state; analyzing the statistics to determine whether a health check should be performed; powering down the device when determining that a health check should be performed; and placing the device in standby mode when determining that a health check should not be performed.

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments describe methods, devices, and computer-readable media for protecting the integrity of volatile memory devices. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising detecting a power interrupt condition of a memory device; and executing at least one operation in response to detecting the power interrupt condition, the operation selected from the group of operations consisting of: placing the memory device in a pre-charge mode, pausing a self-refresh mode of the memory device, forcing the memory device into a reset mode, or rewriting data in the memory device.

    Abstract: A memory device stores data for a host device. In one approach, a method includes: selecting, by the memory device, a first mode of operation for a host interface that implements a communication protocol for communications between the memory device and the host device. The host interface is configured to implement the communication protocol using a mode selected by the memory device from one of several available modes. In response to selecting the first mode, resources of the memory device are configured to customize the host interface for operation in the first mode.

    Abstract: A vehicle having a control element for the speed, acceleration or direction of the vehicle, a computing device to generate a command in autonomous driving of the vehicle, and a command controller coupled between the control element and the computing device. In response to the command, the command controller initiates a test of a portion of the memory of the computing device. If the portion of the memory passes the test, the command controller forwards the command for execution via the control element of the vehicle; otherwise, the command controller blocks the command and/or issues a replacement command for the vehicle.

    Abstract: A dynamic memory system having multiple memory regions respectively storing multiple types of data. A controller coupled to the dynamic memory system via a communication channel and operatively to: monitor usage of a communication bandwidth of the communication channel; determine to reduce memory bandwidth penalty caused by refreshing the dynamic memory system; and in response, reduce a refresh rate of at least one of the memory regions based on a type of data stored in the respective memory region.
