Storage Module and Method for Re-Enabling Preloading of Data in the Storage Module

摘要

A storage module and method for re-enabling preloading of data in the storage module are disclosed. In one embodiment, a storage module is provided with a memory and a register. In response to receiving a register-setting command, the storage module sets a value in the register to enable preloading of data in the memory. The storage module then receives the data for storage in the memory. After the storage module has determined that all of the data has been received, the storage module changes the value in the register to disable further preloading of data. In response to receiving a register-resetting command, the storage module resets the value in the register to re-enable preloading of data even though the storage module already changed the value in the register to disable further preloading of data.

1. A method for re-enabling preloading of data in a storage module, the method comprising:
performing the following in a storage module comprising a memory and a register:
in response to receiving a command to set a value in the register, setting the value in the register to enable preloading of data in the memory;receiving the data for storage in the memory;determining that all of the data has been received;after determining that all of the data has been received, changing the value in the register to disable further preloading of data; andin response to receiving a command to reset the value in the register, resetting the value in the register to re-enable preloading of data even though the storage module already changed the value in the register to disable further preloading of data.
