Abstract: Systems and methods related to a memory device are provided. The systems and methods include using at least one driver with predetermined reduced driving capability to drive at least one of the memory elements of the memory device in a reliable detection algorithm. The at least one driver has reduced driving capability compared to a driver used for standard read access. The reliable detection algorithm can include detecting failing memory elements on a respective reading current diverging from an expected or expectable reading current.

Abstract: The method for reallocation of a memory, in particular a command memory, wherein the memory is part of a subsystem and the memory is assigned to a processing unit available on the subsystem, and wherein the occurrence of a memory error in the memory (RAM) is detected, whereupon the content of the memory is regenerated, is characterized in that the content of the memory is regenerated by means of an error routine controlled by the processing unit.

Abstract: An arrangement with a memory for storing data has a first memory for storing data, switching devices which stipulate whether access to the first memory involves output of the data stored in the first memory or other data, and a second memory for storing the other data. The arrangement is distinguished in that it contains a third memory (103, 203, 310), which is addressed by the address (A) which is used to access the first memory or by a portion (AH) of this address and contains information about which data in the first memory are to be replaced with other data.

Abstract: The document describes an arrangement having a first memory for storing data, switching devices which stipulate whether access to the first memory involves output of the data stored in the first memory or other data, and a second memory for storing the other data. The arrangement described is distinguished in that it contains a third memory (103, 203, 310), which is addressed by the address (A) which is used to access the first memory or by a portion (AH) of this address and contains information about which data in the first memory are to be replaced with other data.

Abstract: The program-controlled unit selects individual segments for use from the available memory by using a segment pointer. The content of the segment pointer can be changed before and/or after the execution of a bootstrap loading operation.
