Patent number: 11966753Abstract: A storage device for booting a host computing device includes a first storage memory region having a first storage memory controller, a second storage memory region having a second storage memory controller, and a resilient boot controller. The resilient boot controller is configured to store boot code in the first storage memory region, prevent write access by the host computing device through the first storage memory controller to the first storage memory region, detect a reset of the host computing device through the input/output interface, copy at least a portion of the boot code from the first storage memory region to the second storage memory region, responsive to detection of the reset of the host computing device, and enable read access of the copied boot code by the host computing device through the second storage memory controller of the second storage memory region, responsive to the copy operation.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Stefan Thom, Paul England, Robert Karl Spiger, Brian Telfer, Sangho Lee, Marcus Peinado
