  • Offloading file-indexing to memory card firmware
    Patent number: 11188511
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a self-indexing removable storage device. In certain embodiments, the removable storage device is configured to be connected to a memory reader of a host device. The removable storage device comprises storage media, a controller configured to run firmware, and a buffer. The controller is configured to, while connected to a first host device, receive a write operation from the first host device, monitor changes to the storage media caused by the write operation, and update a file index stored on the removable storage device with the monitored changes. The controller is further configured to, in response to connecting the removable storage device to a memory reader of a second host device, provide the file index to an application on the second host device, and cause the application to display files on the storage media based on the file index.
