  • System for multi-profile boot selection of an embedded device
    Patent number: 7676671
    Abstract: A system for multi-profile boot selection of an embedded device and method therefor are described. The system comprises a storage device reader, a processing device, and a memory. The processing device communicates with the storage device reader and the memory stores instructions including a boot controller which, when executed by the processing device, interacts with the storage device reader and automatically generates a default boot configuration file based on determining a failure from interaction with the storage device reader.

  • Multi-sector to single-sector request mapping
    Publication number: 20080104307
    Abstract: One embodiment relates to a method of performing a multi-sector memory request for data to be communicated with a memory device. The multi-sector memory request is received. The multi-sector memory request received includes a starting sector address and a number of sectors to be communicated. The multi-sector memory request is mapped into a series of single sector memory requests. The single sector requests are submitted to the memory device. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
