Abstract
The invention introduces a method for configuring a reliable command, performed by a flash controller, including: issuing a read ID command to a flash module; and parsing an opcode of a reliable command from reserved bytes in reply data for the read ID command, where the reliable command is used to direct the flash module for access to data in a single level cell (SLC) mode.
Claims20
A method for configuring a reliable command, performed by a flash controller, comprising:
- issuing a read ID command to a flash module;
- and
- parsing an opcode of the reliable command from reserved bytes in reply data for the read ID command,
- wherein the reliable command is used to direct the flash module for access to data in a single level cell (SLC) mode.
A non-transitory computer program product for configuring a reliable command when executed by a processing unit of a flash controller, the non-transitory computer program product comprising program code to:
- issue a read ID command to a flash module;
- and
- parse an opcode of the reliable command from reserved bytes in reply data for the read ID command,
- wherein the reliable command is used to direct the flash module for access to data in a single level cell (SLC) mode.
An apparatus for configuring a reliable command, comprising:
- a flash interface (I/F), coupled to a flash module;
- and
- a processing unit, coupled to the flash I/F, arranged operably to drive the flash I/F to issue a read ID command to a flash module;
- and parse an opcode of the reliable command from reserved bytes in reply data for the read ID command,
- wherein the reliable command is used to direct the flash module for access to data in a single level cell (SLC) mode.
