摘要： Methods, and associated devices, media, and systems, for establishing a communication link between a host system and a storage device are provided. Such a method includes the steps of: providing a communication stack having only an application layer and a physical layer; and establishing a communication channel between a host system and the storage device using the communication stack. The step of establishing may be performed via a TCP/IP emulator in a host-system side and a storage-command interpreter in a storage-device side. The method may further include: establishing a communication channel between the host system and a device having a static-IP address; and establishing a communication channel between the host system and a device having a storage identifier that is embedded into one of command parameters sent by the application layer or the physical layer to the TCP/IP emulator.

摘要： A method enables a storage device to autonomously (i.e., without intervention of a host device) determines whether an integral sequence of commands, which is related to one or more storage commands issued by the host device, is in a certain state (i.e., it is “active” or “inactive”) or is transitioning from “active” state to “inactive” state, or from “inactive” state to “active” state. Depending on the determined state or transition, the storage device determines whether to refrain from executing Extra-Sequence (“ESQ”) operations and permit executing Intra-Sequence (“ISQ”) operations, or vice versa.

摘要： A method for writing into a flash memory device includes calculating a physical block for writing data thereto, checking whether the calculated physical block has been erased since a last power-up of the device and if it has been erased writing the data, or, if it has not been erased performing a refresh operation thereby obtaining a newly erased block since a last power-up that the data can be written to. The newly erased block may be the calculated block or another block of the flash memory.

摘要： The present invention discloses methods for delivering code to a host system including the steps of: accepting a CPU request, from a host-system processor of the host system, for a code segment; initiating a retrieval process to retrieve the code segment; upon expiration of a predetermined time, checking whether the code segment is ready for delivery; upon the predetermined time expiring before the code segment is ready for delivery, providing an SWI that is different than the code segment; and upon the predetermined time expiring after the code segment is ready for delivery, providing the code segment. Preferably, the SWI causes the host-system processor to jump to a reset-vector address. Most preferably, the reset-vector code, located at the reset-vector address, includes a command to request the code segment again.

摘要： An erase count of a flash memory block which is lost, e.g., due to power failure is updated or replaced by using known erase counts of other blocks of the flash memory. A flash management algorithm assigns a new erase count value instead of the lost one based on either a maximum value, an average value or a value combining the maximum value of the known erase counts and some tolerance value. The known values may be obtained from wear leveling data or from a stored erase history.
