摘要： A motherboard of a computer system has a video display port, a reprogrammable non-volatile memory, a controller for the non-volatile memory, and a graphics controller circuit for outputting video signals to the video display port. A wired-OR circuit connects the graphics controller circuit to the controller to the port. Thus, the video display port can be used to output video signals from the computer system to a peripheral video display device, and the video display port can be used as an input port to reprogram the non-volatile memory. The present invention also relates to a non-volatile memory device which has an array of non-volatile memory cells and two ports for communication therewith. A first port receives a first communication protocol and interfaces with the array in the first communication protocol. A second port receives a second communication protocol and converts the second communication protocol into the first communication protocol.

摘要： A single integrated circuit microcontroller 10 including embedded erasable/programmable non-volatile memory 12 having a read protection. Microcontroller 10 can operate within a special mode in which external circuits may access memory 12 by use of input/output pins 18. When microcontroller 10 activates this special mode, a read protection flag 13 within memory 12 is checked. The read protection flag 13 may be set during production of the microcontroller 10 after instructional data or firmware has been installed onto memory 12. If the read protection flag 13 has been set, the contents of memory 12 are erased or reprogrammed prior to allowing access to memory 12. In this manner, external circuits cannot access instructional data or firmware that is stored in memory 12.

摘要： A NOR emulating device using a controller and NAND memories can be used in a computer system in placed of the main memory or in place of the BIOS NOR memory. Thus, the emulating device can function as a bootable memory. In addition, the device can act as a cache to the hard disk drive. Further, with the addition of an MP3 player controller into the device, the device can function as a stand alone audio playback device, even while the PC is turned off or is in a hibernating mode. Finally with the MP3 player controller, the device can access additional audio data stored on the hard drive, again with the PC in an off mode or a hibernating mode. Finally, the device can function to operate the disk drive, even while the PC is off or is in a hibernating mode, and control USB ports attached thereto.
