Managing status information of logic units

A device, comprising:

• a semiconductor device comprising one or more logic units and a reporting bus;
• and
• a controller coupled to the semiconductor device and configured to store status information of the one or more logic units in the semiconductor device,
• wherein each of the one or more logic units is configured to send information associated with the logic unit using a corresponding reporting unit in the semiconductor device through the reporting bus to the controller to indicate a status of the logic unit, and is configured to perform whether to send out the information associated with the logic unit through the reporting bus based on a result of determining whether there is another logic unit sending information to the reporting bus,
• wherein the controller is configured to, in response to receiving the information associated with the logic unit, update corresponding status information of the logic unit based on the status of the logic unit, and send a synchronization signal to each of the one or more logic units through the corresponding reporting unit according to a predetermined protocol, and
• wherein the one or more logic units comprise a logic unit configured to:
• in response to determining that the logic unit is in a ready status, receive the synchronization signal from the controller, and send information of the logic unit based on a frequency of the synchronization signal to the controller through the reporting bus,
• in response to determining that there is no other logic unit sending information to the reporting bus, send out information of the logic unit through the reporting bus,
• in response to determining that there is information of another logic unit on the reporting bus, stop sending the information of the logic unit, and
• in response to determining that there is no information of other logic units on the reporting bus, resend the information of the logic unit to the controller via the reporting bus.

A device comprising:

• a memory comprising one or more memory units, each of the one or more memory units comprising:
• one or more logic units and
• a reporting bus coupled to the one or more logic units;
• and
• a controller coupled to the memory and configured to store status information of the one or more logic units in each of the one or more memory units,
• wherein each of the one or more logic units in each of the one or more memory units is configured to:
• in response to determining a status change of the logic unit in the memory unit, send information associated with the logic unit to the controller through the reporting bus in the memory unit to indicate a current status of the logic unit,
• perform whether to send out the information associated with the logic unit through the reporting bus based on a result of determining whether there is another logic unit sending information to the reporting bus,
• in response to determining that there is no other logic unit sending information to the reporting bus, send out information of the logic unit through the reporting bus, and
• in response to determining that a bit value on the reporting bus is different from a bit sent by the logic unit, stop sending the information associated with the logic unit to the reporting bus, and in response to determining that there is no other logic unit sending information to the reporting bus, resend the information of the logic unit to the reporting bus, and
• wherein the controller is configured to:
• in response to receiving the information associated with the logic unit, update corresponding status information of the logic unit based on the current status of the logic unit.
