Abstract
A write validation system that includes a first address signature collector module that generates a first address signature that is indicative of a write address of data when the data is received at a memory control module. A second address signature collector module generates a second address signature that is indicative of the write address of the data when the data is transferred from the memory control module. An address signature validation module receives the first address signature from the first address signature collector module, receives the second address signature from the second address signature collector module, and compares the first address signature to the second address signature.
Claims43
A write validation system, comprising:
- a first address signature collector module that generates a first address signature that is indicative of a write address of data when the data is received at a memory control module;
- a second address signature collector module that generates a second address signature that is indicative of the write address of the data when the data is transferred from the memory control module;
- and an address signature validation module that receives the first address signature from the first address signature collector module, that receives the second address signature from the second address signature collector module, and that compares the first address signature to the second address signature, wherein a hard disk control (HDC) module comprises the write validation system.
A write validation system, comprising:
- first address signature collector means for generating a first address signature that is indicative of a write address of data when the data is received at a memory control module;
- second address signature collector means for generating a second address signature that is indicative of the write address of the data when the data is transferred from the memory control module;
- and
- address signature validation means for receiving the first address signature from the first address signature collector means, for receiving the second address signature from the second address signature collector means, and for comparing the first address signature to the second address signature, wherein a hard disk control (HDC) module comprises the write validation system.
A write validation method for a hard disk control (HDC) module, the write validation method comprising:
- generating a first address signature that is indicative of a write address of data when the data is received at a memory control module located in the HDC module;
- generating a second address signature that is indicative of the write address of the data when the data is transferred from the memory control module;
- receiving the first address signature and the second address signature;
- and comparing the first address signature to the second address signature.
