Abstract
A system on chip includes a memory information read unit and a memory feature setting unit. The memory information read unit is configured to read standard integrated information using a first instruction or read standard information using a second instruction from at least one of the memory and an application image. The memory feature setting unit is configured to set a feature of the memory using the standard integrated information or the standard information. The memory feature setting unit selects all or some of a plurality of bus access modes defined in the standard integrated information or in the standard information and sets a bus access mode of the memory as one or more of the bus access modes.
Claims16
A system on chip for managing memory, the system on chip comprising:
- a memory information read unit configured to read standard integrated information using a first instruction or read standard information using a second instruction from at least one of the memory and an application image;
- and
- a memory feature setting unit configured to set a feature of the memory using the standard integrated information or the standard information, wherein the memory feature setting unit selects all or some of a plurality of bus access modes defined in the standard integrated information or in the standard information and sets a bus access mode of the memory as one of all or some of the bus access modes, wherein the plurality of defined bus access modes are formed by combining one or more pins associated with a command, one or more pins associated with an address, and one or more pins associated with data.
A method of managing memory using a memory management apparatus, the method comprising:
- determining whether standard integrated information is present by a memory information determination unit;
- reading the standard integrated information from at least one of the memory and an application image using a first instruction by a memory information read unit if the standard integrated information is present;
- setting a feature of the memory using the standard integrated information by a memory feature setting unit;
- selecting all or some of a plurality of bus access modes defined in the standard integrated information by the memory feature setting unit;
- setting a bus access mode of the memory as one of all or some of the bus access modes by the memory feature setting unit;
- and
- forming the plurality of defined bus access modes by combining one or more pins associated with a command, one or more pins associated with an address, and one or more pins associated with data.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium managing memory, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer program instructions, the computer program instructions performing a process when executed by a processor, the process comprising:
- determining whether standard integrated information is present by a memory information determination unit
- reading the standard integrated information from at least one of the memory and an application image using a first instruction by the memory information read unit if the standard integrated information is present;
- setting a feature of the memory using the standard integrated information by a memory feature setting unit;
- selecting all or some of a plurality of bus access modes defined in the standard integrated information by the memory feature setting unit;
- setting a bus access mode of the memory as one of all or some of the bus access modes by the memory feature setting unit;
- and
- forming the plurality of defined bus access modes by combining one or more pins associated with a command, one or more pins associated with an address, and one or more pins associated with data.
