  • Patent number: 12406744
    Abstract: A memory controller performs a self-test operation on a memory device in response to a diagnostic command received from a host. The controller includes a host interface that receives the diagnostic command and a processor that executes the self-test and generates a corresponding response. The response transmitted to the host includes a basic header segment used in standard protocol communication and an extra header segment that carries result information indicating the outcome of the self-test. This structure enables efficient diagnostic communication between the host and the memory controller without disrupting regular memory operations.

  • Publication number: 20250252020
    Abstract: When an unrecoverable error occurs in a storage device that receives a command from a host device, the storage device transmits a hint requesting transmission of a hardware reset signal to the host device, and the storage device performs a reset operation by receiving the hardware reset signal corresponding to the hint from the host device. Using a fast recovery operation, delay time due to occurrence of the error may be reduced, and the operational performance of the storage device may be improved.
