摘要： Systems and/or methods that facilitate transferring data between a processor component and memory components are presented. A transfer controller component facilitates controlling data transfers in part by receiving respective subsets of data from respective memory components and arranging the respective subsets of data based in part on a desired predefined data order. The processor component generates a transfer map that includes information to facilitate arranging data in a predefined order. The processor component generates respective subsets of commands that are provided to queue components in respective memory components to retrieve desired data from the respective memory components. Each memory component services the commands in its queue component in an independent and parallel manner, and transfers the data retrieved from memory to the transfer controller component, which can arrange the received data in a predefined order for transfer to the processor component.

摘要： Systems and/or methods that facilitate accessing data to/from a memory are presented. An electronic memory component can operate with reduced data access times by eliminating/reducing the use of logical block addressing and employing physical block addressing. Data access is thereby directly associated with the physical location of the stored bits and the need to translate between a logical address and the physical address is reduced or eliminated. This can be even more efficient under asymmetric data access patterns. Further, legacy support for logical block addressing can be included to provide backward compatibility, mixed mode operation, or complimentary mode operation.

摘要： A memory device driver is described that can support multiple differing memory devices, in particular, differing Flash memory devices, by being internally re-configurable to match the driving and management requirements of the particular memory device. This allows for a limited number of operating system versions to be produced and maintained for a given system by the manufacturer, reducing the possibility of misconfiguration of the system/device by the inadvertent updating or programming of the wrong operating system version by an end user or service personnel. The resulting driver routine and/or operating system is also typically smaller than operating systems/drivers that compile in or load multiple separate drivers into themselves. In one embodiment of the present invention, the software driver is automatically configures itself by querying the memory device for a device ID and/or manufacturer code or by detecting a specific characteristic of the memory device being driven.
