HARDWARE RESET MANAGEMENT FOR UNIVERSAL FLASH STORAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17874952 titled 'HARDWARE RESET MANAGEMENT FOR UNIVERSAL FLASH STORAGE
Simplified Explanation
Methods, systems, and devices for hardware reset management for universal flash storage (UFS) are described in this patent application. The UFS device goes through a boot-up procedure with multiple phases. During the first phase, the UFS device performs a first reset operation to reset one or more circuits upon receiving a first reset command. In the second phase, the UFS device initiates a portion of a second reset operation to reset the circuits based on the likelihood of receiving a second reset command. If the second reset command is received during the second phase, the UFS device initiates a second portion of the second reset operation.
- UFS device performs a multi-phase boot-up procedure.
- First reset operation is performed during the first phase based on a first reset command.
- Second reset operation is initiated during the second phase based on the likelihood of receiving a second reset command.
- Second reset command is received during the second phase, triggering the initiation of a second portion of the second reset operation.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Universal flash storage (UFS) devices and systems.
- Hardware reset management in electronic devices.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient and controlled hardware reset management in UFS devices.
- Ensuring proper initialization and functioning of circuits during boot-up.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved reliability and stability of UFS devices.
- Streamlined boot-up procedure for UFS devices.
- Enhanced control over hardware reset operations.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for hardware reset management for universal flash storage (UFS) are described. A UFS device may initiate a boot-up procedure that includes multiple phases. The UFS device may perform a first reset operation to reset one or more circuits based on receiving a first reset command during a first phase. The UFS device perform a second phase and may initiate a portion of a second reset operation to reset the one or more circuits during the second phase based on a likelihood that a second reset command is to be received. The UFS device may receive the second reset command during the second phase after initiating the portion of the second reset operation. The UFS device may initiate a second portion of the second reset operation based on receiving the second reset command and initiating the portion of the second reset operation.
