Abstract: The disclosed architecture uses address mapping to map a block address on a host interface to an internal block address of a non-volatile memory (NVM) device. The block address is mapped to an internal chip select for selecting a Concurrently Addressable Unit (CAU) identified by the block address. The disclosed architecture supports generic NVM commands for read, write, erase and get status operations. The architecture also supports an extended command set for supporting read and write operations that leverage a multiple CAU architecture.

Abstract: Systems and processes may be used to retrieve metadata from a nonvolatile memory of a portable device and transmit the retrieved metadata to an external host. Metadata may be analyzed using the external host and/or at least a portion of the metadata may be modified based on the analysis. Modified metadata may be transmitted from the external host to a memory controller of the host.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method includes receiving, at a memory device, an instruction to boot the memory device, wherein the memory device includes non-volatile memory accessible by a controller of the memory device; and, in response to receiving the instruction to boot the memory device, obtaining, by the memory device, firmware from a host device, wherein the host device is separate from and communicatively coupled to the memory device. The method can also include booting the memory device using the firmware from the host device, wherein the memory device boots separately from the host device, and the host device performs operations using data or instructions stored in the non-volatile memory and obtained through communication with the memory controller of the memory device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for power management of a system having non-volatile memory ("NVM"). One or more controllers of the system can optimally turn modules on or off and/or intelligently adjust the operating speeds of modules and interfaces of the system based on the type of incoming commands and the current conditions of the system. This can result in optimal system performance and reduced system power consumption.
