  • Patent number: 11693784
    Abstract: A processing device in a memory system determines to send system state information associated with the memory device to a host system and identifies a subset of a plurality of event entries from a staging buffer based on one or more filtering factors, the plurality of event entries corresponding to events associated with the memory device. The processing device further sends the subset of the plurality of event entries as the system state information to the host system over a communication pipe having limited bandwidth.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11269515
    Abstract: A processing device in a memory system receives a privilege key from a host system, the privilege key having an associated level of access to debug information associated with the memory device and determines the level of access associated with the privilege key. The processing device receives, from the host system, a request for debug information directed to a debug slave address associated with a system management bus port of a memory sub-system, identifies the debug information corresponding to the level of access associated with the privilege key, and sends the debug information to the host system over a system management bus coupled to the system management bus port of the memory sub-system.

  • Patent number: 11204850
    Abstract: A processing device in a memory system receives, from a host system, a request for a debug slave address associated with a system management bus port of a memory sub-system and sends a response comprising the debug slave address to the host system. The processing device receives, from the host system, a request to enable the system management bus port to receive a request for debug information directed to the debug slave address, receives, from the host system, the request for debug information directed to the debug slave address, and sends the debug information to the host system over a system management bus coupled to the system management bus port of the memory sub-system.

  • Patent number: 10822057
    Abstract: The anchor-retrieving system comprises a recovery harness and a lap link. The recovery harness may couple to an anchor via the lap link such that if the anchor becomes fouled the lap link may fail and a trip line of the recovery harness may be operable to recover the anchor by pulling the anchor from a crown of the anchor. The recovery harness may comprise three loops. A first loop may couple to the head of the anchor via the lap link. A second loop, adjacent to the first loop, may couple to an anchor line via rode hardware. The third loop, separated from the others via a trip line that is longer than the shank of the anchor may couple to an aperture in the crown of the anchor.
