Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for determining locations in not-and (NAND) memory for boot-up code are described. An indication of one or more timeout durations for a boot sequence are received. Information for the boot sequence is stored in one or more memory cells based on the one or more timeout durations, where the one or more memory cells are selected based on a read latency, an error rate, or a storage-level of the one or more memory cells with relation to the indicated one or more timeout durations. The information for the boot sequence stored in the one or more memory cells is accessed based on an initialization of the boot sequence.
Claims20
A memory system, comprising:
- one or more memory devices;
- and
- processing circuitry coupled with the one or more memory devices and configured to cause the memory system to:
- receive an indication of a timeout duration for a boot sequence;
- store information for the boot sequence in a set of memory cells of a memory device based at least in part on the timeout duration;
- access the information for the boot sequence that is stored in the set of memory cells based at least in part on an initialization of the boot sequence;
- and
- perform a procedure for building a table associated with accessing the memory device based at least in part on the initialization of the boot sequence.
A method, comprising:
- receiving an indication of a timeout duration for a boot sequence;
- storing information for the boot sequence in a set of memory cells of a memory device based at least in part on the timeout duration;
- accessing the information for the boot sequence that is stored in the set of memory cells based at least in part on an initialization of the boot sequence;
- and
- performing a procedure for building a table associated with accessing the memory device based at least in part on the initialization of the boot sequence.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code, the code comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to:
- receive an indication of a timeout duration for a boot sequence;
- store information for the boot sequence in a set of memory cells of a memory device based at least in part on the timeout duration;
- access the information for the boot sequence that is stored in the set of memory cells based at least in part on an initialization of the boot sequence;
- and
- perform a procedure for building a table associated with accessing the memory device based at least in part on the initialization of the boot sequence.
