STORING NON-VOLATILE MEMORY INITIALIZATION FAILURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17889810 titled 'STORING NON-VOLATILE MEMORY INITIALIZATION FAILURES
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to a method for storing non-volatile memory initialization failures. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method involves initializing a volatile memory die.
- In response to initializing the volatile memory die, a first non-volatile memory die is initialized.
- Executable instructions are then copied from the first non-volatile memory die to the volatile memory die.
- After initializing the first non-volatile memory die, a second non-volatile memory die is initialized.
- If an error occurs during the initialization of the second non-volatile memory die, a failure record is stored in the first non-volatile memory die.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This technology can be used in various electronic devices that utilize non-volatile memory, such as computers, smartphones, and tablets.
- It can be particularly useful in systems where multiple non-volatile memory dies are used, ensuring that initialization failures are properly recorded.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The method addresses the issue of non-volatile memory initialization failures by providing a mechanism to store failure records.
- By storing failure records, it becomes easier to identify and diagnose initialization errors, allowing for more efficient troubleshooting and maintenance.
Benefits of this technology:
- The method ensures that failure records are stored in a reliable and accessible manner, facilitating the identification and resolution of initialization errors.
- By copying executable instructions from the first non-volatile memory die to the volatile memory die, the method ensures that the system can continue functioning even if there are initialization failures in the second non-volatile memory die.
- This technology improves the overall reliability and stability of systems that rely on non-volatile memory.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure includes apparatuses, methods, and systems for storing non-volatile memory initialization failures. In an example, a method can include initializing a volatile memory die, initializing a first non-volatile memory die in response to initializing the volatile memory die, copying executable instructions from the first non-volatile memory die to the volatile memory die in response to initializing the first non-volatile memory die, initializing the second non-volatile memory die in response to initializing the first non-volatile memory die, and storing a failure record in the first non-volatile memory die in response to an error occurring during the initialization of the second non-volatile memory die.
