Hardware forensic data is generated by reading local computer bus data, firmware event log data, and memory mapped input/output (I/O) data associated with the computing system. The hardware forensic data is then stored in a memory location of the kernel memory, causing the hardware forensic data to be included in the memory dump data being written to kernel memory.

An example apparatus includes: a data input/output circuit that provides data via a plurality of data signal lines; memory cell arrays; an ECC/Parity redundancy array; and a redundancy circuit coupled to the plurality of data signal lines. The redundancy circuit includes an error correction block that generates error correction information based on the data and provides the error correction information to the ECC/Parity redundancy array. If during test it is determined that a failure is not repairable by standard redundancy including error correction code, the error correction parity array is not needed and can be redirected by a block repair circuit. The error correction circuit can now have its functionality changed to allow the error correction array to become a block repair.
