Maintaining connection with cxl host on reset

A method comprising:

• detecting a reset condition at a memory device, wherein the memory device is coupled to a host device using a compute express link (CXL) interconnect;
• in response to the reset condition:
• during a first phase, quiescing transactions with the host device, using a host interface circuit of the memory device to maintain a connection with the host device, and resetting processing logic circuitry of the memory device;
• during a second phase that follows the first phase, using the processing logic circuitry of the memory device to maintain the connection with the host device while resetting the host interface circuit of the memory device;
• and
• during a third phase that follows the second phase, using the host interface circuit of the memory device and the processing logic circuitry of the memory device to manage transactions with the host device.
