  • Publication number: 20210109810
    Abstract: Parity data associated with commands to, and indications from, a configuration register that includes a first command FIFO for receiving commands and a response FIFO for returning indications can be managed. Commands can be tracked by storing the commands in a second command FIFO and a command can be dequeued from the second command FIFO, in response to a command emerging from the response FIFO. Parity data can be generated from the data associated with a write operation, and stored in a parity latch corresponding to the configuration register, in response to the dequeued command being a successfully completed write operation. The generated parity data can be read from a parity latch corresponding to the configuration register and provided the generated parity data for return with an indication that the dequeued command is a successfully completed write operation.

  • Patent number: 10606791
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a bus bridge transfer protocol in a bus bridge system that uses a tag based transfer protocol to identify transactions. The bus bridge may receive a protocol request from an initiator that does not use the tag based transfer protocol. A designated tag consistent with the tag based transfer protocol may be assigned for use in requests from the non-tag conforming initiator. When receiving a request from the non-tag conforming initiator, an initiator flag is set to indicate that the request is from the non-tag conforming initiator and that the response should be forwarded to the non-tag conforming initiator. When receiving a request from a tag conforming initiator, if the request includes the designated tag, the initiator flag is set to indicate that the response should be forwarded to and that the designated tag is being used in a request from the tag conforming initiator.

  • Patent number: 10387280
    Abstract: Techniques for reporting defects in a flash memory back-up system include organizing backed-up data into multiple stripes of a logical block address (LBA). A stripe is a set of pages across all available flash memory devices which have the same block and page address. In response to encountering an error in a block of flash memory during back-up of a stripe of data in one or more last pages of a logical block address, the stripe of data is re-written at a page address in the next LBA and preceding LBA metadata is embedded for the stripe of backed-up data in the re-written stripe of data in the next LBA including an indication of the location of new error block in the preceding LBA.
