    摘要: An extended universal serial bus (USB) card reader device is described herein. In one embodiment, a card reader includes a first extended USB (EUSB) connector to be coupled to an external host system, multiple flash memory card sockets capable of receiving multiple flash memory cards inserted therein, multiple flash controllers coupled to the plurality of flash memory card sockets respectively. The card reader further includes a memory for storing executable code, a processor coupled to each of the flash controllers for executing the executable code to control each of the plurality of flash controllers in order to access the corresponding flash memory card inserted therein. The card reader further includes a second EUSB connector to be coupled to an external EUSB device using the extended USB protocols, which is one of an EUSB slave device and an EUSB hub device. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.

    摘要: An electronic data flash card is accessible by a host system, and includes a flash memory controller and at least one flash memory device coupled to the flash controller. The boot code and control code for the flash memory system (flash card) are stored in the flash memory device during a programming procedure. The flash controller transfers the boot code and control code to a volatile main memory (e.g., random access memory or RAM) at start up or reset making a RAM-based memory system. Boot code and control code are selectively overwritten during a code updating operation. A single flash controller thus supports multiple brands and types of flash memory to eliminate stocking issues.

    摘要: An extended Secure-Digital (SD) card has a second interface that uses some of the SD-interface lines. A card-detection routine on a host can initially use the SD interface to detect extended capabilities and command the card to switch to using the second interface. The extended SD card can communicate with legacy SD hosts using just the SD interface, or extended SD cards using the second interface. Also an extended Universal-Serial Bus (EUSB) host enters a suspend mode rather than polling an EUSB device that is busy performing a memory or other operations. Power is saved since polling is avoided. The busy EUSB device sends a not-yet signal back to the EUSB host to instruct the host to enter the suspend mode. When the EUSB device is ready to continue transfer with the host, the EUSB device wakes up the host by sending a ready signal back to the host.

    摘要: An electronic data flash card includes a processor and at least one flash memory device. The flash memory is partitioned such that it includes a first partition that is formatted using a file system that supports an Autorun function (e.g., CD-ROM file system (CDFS) format, fixed-disk format or Universal Disk Format (UDF)), and a disk partition that is formatted using a typical controller-based flash device file system (e.g., 16-bit File Allocation Table (FAT16) file system, 32-bit FAT (FAT32) file system, or New Technology File System (NTFS)). The electronic data flash card is produced such that Autorun-enabled application automatically executes a predetermined application or action when the electronic data flash card is installed in a host system. In one embodiment, the Autorun application includes an advertisement displayed on the host system prior to allowing access to data stored in the disk partition.

    摘要: An extended Universal-Serial-Bus (USB) connector plug and socket each have a pin substrate with one surface that supports the four metal contact pins for the standard USB interface. An extension of the pin substrate carries another 8 extension metal contact pins that mate when both the connector plug and socket are extended. The extension can be an increased length of the plug's and socket's pin substrate or a reverse side of the substrate. Standard USB connectors do not make contact with the extension metal contacts that are recessed, retracted by a mechanical switch, or on the extension of the socket's pin substrate that a standard USB connector cannot reach. Standard USB sockets do not make contact with the extension metal contacts because the extended connector's extension contacts are recessed, or on the extension of the connector pin substrate that does not fit inside a standard USB socket.
