  • Patent number: 8788744
    Abstract: A memory control device for controlling a primary controller and a secondary controller to access a flash memory is provided. A bus switch is coupled to the primary controller, the secondary controller and the flash memory via a first, second and third serial peripheral interface (SPI) buses, respectively. A selecting unit selectively couples the third SPI bus to one of the first and second buses. When the bus switch receives an access request from the primary controller via the first SPI bus, the selecting unit couples the third SPI bus to the first SPI bus, so as to transmit a chip select signal, a clock signal and a master output slave input (MOSI) signal from the primary controller to the flash memory for accessing the flash memory. The first access request is provided by the first chip select signal.

  • Patent number: 8209464
    Abstract: A management method, a management apparatus, and a controller for memory data access are provided. The management apparatus is disposed between a host and a device for managing the data transmitted between the host and the device, wherein the management apparatus includes a control unit and a storage unit. When the control unit receives a data writing command from the host, it searches for a set mapped to the data in the storage unit and updates the data in the set. Then, the control unit collects the other parts of the data in the storage unit and the device, integrates all parts of the data, and writes the integrated data into the device. Accordingly, the efficiency in data transmission can be improved, and the number of data writing operations can be reduced so that the lifespan of the device can be prolonged.
