Abstract: A device connected by a link to a host system can include a first port to receive a capability configuration message across a link and a message request receiving logic comprising hardware circuitry to identify a capability of the device identified in the capability configuration message, determine that the capability is to be presented or hidden from operation based on a capability hide enable bit in the capability configuration message, and configure a capability linked list to present or hide the capability based on the determination. The device can also include a message response generator logic comprising hardware circuitry to generate a response message indicating that the capability is to be presented or hidden from operation. The device can include a second port to transmit the response message across the link.

Abstract: A method is described that includes choosing between one of two different ways to cause a memory device to enter a specific one of multiple lower power states that each comprise lower power consumption than a highest low power state. The method also includes asserting a first signal on a first signal line that is coupled to a power management controller of the memory device to indicate to the power management controller that a sideband channel of a memory bus that is coupled to the memory device is activated. The method also includes causing the memory device to enter the specific one of the multiple lower power states by also performing the chosen one of a) sending an in-band signal on said memory bus coupled with said asserting of said first signal, said in-band signal specifying the specific one of the multiple lower power states; or, b) sending a second signal on a second signal line that identifies the specific one of the multiple lower power states.

Abstract: A hardware platform includes a nonvolatile storage device that can store system firmware as well as code for the primary operating system for the hardware platform. The hardware platform includes a controller that determines the hardware platform lacks functional firmware to boot the primary operating system from the storage device. The controller accesses a firmware image from an external interface that interfaces a device external to the hardware platform, where the external device is a firmware image source. The controller provisions the firmware from the external device to the storage device and initiates a boot sequence from the provisioned firmware.

Abstract: Systems and devices can include a power management controller to determine a low power mode exit timing from a plurality of low power mode exit timing options, and cause the setting of a low power mode control register based on the determined low power mode exit timing. A message generator can generate a power mode request message. The power mode request message indicating the determined low power mode exiting timing. The power mode request message can be transmitted to a host across a multilane link.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology to add non-address metadata to a memory address field of a transaction layer packet (TLP), wherein the non-address metadata includes one or more vendor-specific attributes. Additionally, the technology may coordinate between a transmitter and a receiver to prevent the TLP from violating an address boundary constraint associated with an interface. In one example, the address boundary constraint prohibits an address and length combination of the TLP from crossing a 4-KB boundary.

Abstract: Provided are a computer readable storage media, method, and system for gathering sensed data from devices to manage host command transmission and cooling of the device. Host commands are retrieved from a host memory in a host to perform Input/Output operations with respect to a device. The retrieved host commands are transmitted to the device to perform the I/O operations of the host command. A monitor command is transmitted to obtain sensed data from the device while processing the host commands. A rate of transmitting the host commands is adjusted in response to determining that the sensed data received from the device in response to the monitor command satisfies a condition.

Abstract: A multilevel memory system includes a nonvolatile memory (NVM) device with an NVM media having a media write unit that is different in size than a host write unit of a host controller of the system that has the multilevel memory system. The memory device includes a media controller that controls writes to the NVM media. The host controller sends a write transaction to the media controller. The write transaction can include the write data in host write units, while the media controller will commit data in media write units to the NVM media. The media controller can send a transaction message to indicate whether the write data for the write transaction was successfully committed to the NVM media.
