Publication number: 20250253884Abstract: Systems and method for bidirectional communication for front end modules (FEM) are disclosed. In one aspect, a bidirectional communication path tunneling through an existing communication bus between a FEM and a baseband processor is created. In a particular aspect, a driver may be hosted by an external processor and communicate with the baseband processor to effectuate the desired tunneled communication through the bus between the baseband processor and the FEM. The bidirectional communication may allow the FEM to adjust settings to optimize performance based on the information provided by the baseband processor. Likewise, information from the FEM may be used to adjust operation of the baseband processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2023Publication date: August 7, 2025Inventors: George Maxim, Suryanarayana Pappu, Paul Bricketto, Jackie Johnson, Woo Yong Lee, Nadim Khlat, Baker Scott

Patent number: 9971659Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for programming non-volatile storage. Methods involve identifying boot loader code stored in a first partition of a non-volatile storage, the boot loader code being marked as active, executing the boot loader code using one or more processors of the computing system, loading a firmware image to a second partition of the non-volatile storage, the second partition being separate from the first partition, and marking the firmware image as active. Methods further involve detecting a power loss event and, following a power cycle, determining that the firmware image is stored in the second partition and has been marked as active, and, in response to said determination, making a copy of the firmware image and storing the copy in the first partition.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2015Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Western Digital Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Timothy J.
