Abstract: A method for performing automated GUI-driven OpROM validation starts with a processor executing an automated test script; and in response to executing the automated test script, the processor is caused to remotely accessing a memory sub-system using a web driver and an interface. The processor causes a BIOS terminal window of the memory sub-system to be displayed on a display screen. The processor captures a screenshot of the BIOS terminal window and generating an image based on the screenshot. The processor converts the image to text using OCR and generates an output comprising BIOS configuration details based on the text using a machine-learning algorithm. The processor then analyzes the output to validate the memory sub-system when no errors are detected in the output or to flag the memory sub-system when errors are detected in the output. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: Respective temperature values for a plurality of dies of a memory device is obtained. Each respective temperature value is indicative of a temperature at a corresponding die of the plurality of dies of the memory device. The plurality of dies based on the respective temperature values, each die of the plurality of dies is ordered. A zone creation command directed to the memory device is received from a host. The zone creation command on the memory device on a die of the ordered plurality of dies is performed based on a temperature threshold.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include an environmental operations manager for controlling memory access of the memory device. The environmental operations manager receives a set of data bits for programming to a memory location. The environmental operations manager receives environmental condition data. The environmental operations manager delays programming of the set of data bits to the memory location and writing the set of data bits to a buffer location in response to determining that the environmental condition data satisfies a threshold.

Abstract: Example embodiments are directed to an input/output (IO) bracket that may be used in a solid-state drive (SSD), the IO bracket comprises a faceplate and at least one heat pipe coupled to the faceplate that extends horizontally from a surface of the faceplate. The at least one heat pipe is configured to be coupled to a controller of the SSD in order to transfer heat from the controller out of the SSD. By coupling the controller to the heat pipe instead of a main heatsink, the main heatsink can efficiently dissipate heat from remaining components of the SSD.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure configure a memory sub-system processor, to use a thermoelectric generator during a power loss event. The processor delivers power to a set of memory components from a power source. The processor detects a power failure event associated with the power source and, in response to detecting the power failure event, receives holdup power from the thermoelectric generator. The processor delivers the holdup power from the thermoelectric generator to the set of memory components.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to memory devices. In one approach, a memory device stores data received from sensors of a vehicle. The memory device includes an offloading engine used to perform computations on portions of the stored data. The offloaded computations include processing using a neural network. An output from the neural network generates an instruction for a processor of the vehicle. The processor of the vehicle reads instruction from a cache of the memory device. Based on the read instruction, the processor of the vehicle controls one or more vehicle functions such as braking, etc.
