Publication number: 20260178211Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for debug reporting by a memory system are described. A memory system may implement a forward tracking debug solution (FSDS) for reporting information to a host system. According to the FSDS, the host system may perform periodic requests to request firmware log data after a duration from a previous request. The firmware log data may include one or more counters corresponding to occurrences of one or more critical events, such as read retry events and error handler events, among other examples. The memory system may maintain the one or more counters associated with the critical events and may adjust the counters in response to identifying the occurrence of a critical event. The memory system may transmit the values of the counters to the host system in response to receiving a checkpoint request, and may reset the counters after transmitting the counter values.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2025Publication date: June 25, 2026Inventors: Ming Ma, Liang Ge, Chaohui Liu

Publication number: 20260178561Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for file update frequency indications for memory operations are described. A host system may indicate an update frequency of a file, such that a memory system may write the file to a first region of memory or a second region of memory according to the update frequency. For example, the host system may determine an update to a file and transmit commands to modify data of the file. The host system may also transmit an update frequency associated with the file, where the update frequency may be a function of a quantity of modified logical block addresses (LBAs) associated with the file, a bootup duration, a modification time of updating the file, or any combination thereof. The memory system may modify the data and write the modified data to the hot region of memory or cold region of memory according to the update frequency.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2025Publication date: June 25, 2026Inventors: Chaohui Liu, Liang Ge, Ming Ma

Publication number: 20260178231Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for interleaved sequential read operations for memory systems are described. For example, a memory system may maintain multiple read caches, each associated with a corresponding sequential data stream. Each cache may be associated with a pre-read window of data that is ready to be read into the cache. In some examples, in response to receiving a first read command associated with data of a first sequential data stream, the memory system may store data in a first cache. In response to receiving a second read command associated with data of a second sequential data stream (e.g., concurrent with the first sequential data stream), the memory system may store data in a second cache. The memory system may accordingly store data of multiple sequential data streams in multiple caches.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2025Publication date: June 25, 2026Inventors: Chaohui Liu, Ming Ma

Publication number: 20260029936Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for read booster for operational data of a memory system are described. A memory system may access system-related data in a partition via a mapping table stored in volatile memory as opposed to loading multi-level logical-to-physical tables from non-volatile memory.
