METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SECURE SYSTEM RECOVERY

摘要

Apparatus and methods implemented therein are disclosed for recovery of information stored in non-volatile memory of embedded and external solid-state memory devices. The apparatus comprises a memory system. The memory system has a non-volatile memory and a memory controller. The memory controller is coupled to the non-volatile memory. The memory controller is also coupled to a memory interface. The memory controller searches the non-volatile memory to locate initialization information required to initialize the memory controller. The memory controller, in response to failing to successfully locate or execute the initialization information, is configured to transmit an indication via the memory interface.

1. A method for initializing a memory system, the memory system comprising a memory controller and a non-volatile memory, the method comprising:
in response to detecting power-up of the memory system, the memory controller searching the non-volatile memory to locate initialization information, wherein the initialization information includes information to initialize the memory system; upon failing to successfully locate or execute the initialization information, transmitting by the memory controller to a host system a request for the initialization information; and in response to transmitting the request, receiving by the memory controller data from the host system, wherein the received data includes the initialization information; and updating by the memory controller the non-volatile memory with the initialization information.
