  • Non-semaphore linked list management
    Patent number: 9258059
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for inserting the packet into a tail of a linked list buffer, and the linked list buffer includes a plurality of Buffer Descriptors (BD), a HEAD pointer pointing to a null Buffer Descriptor (NullBD) and a NULLBD pointer. The NULLBD pointer is switched to point to the NullBD and the HEAD pointer to point to a valid BD which represents a memory address of payload data in the packet to be transmitted. Upon transmission of the packet, the HEAD pointer is converted to point to the NullBD and the NULLBD pointer to point to the valid BD. The valid BD pointed by the NULLBD pointer is finally transferred to a free linked list buffer so that the NULLBD pointer points to no memory address.
    Type: Grant

  • Apparatus and method thereof for reliable booting from NAND flash memory
    Patent number: 8555050
    Abstract: An apparatus for enabling booting from a NAND flash memory comprises a NAND flash controller connected to the NAND flash memory, wherein the NAND flash memory is configured to include at least a starter section for storing boot code, the starter section includes a predefined number of blocks to store copies of the boot code duplicated in a configurable number of blocks; and a fetch emulator for fetching a valid and complete starter block that includes the boot code.
