Application: Memory controller firmware virtualization (Patent ID: US20230393780A1)
The patent filed by Micron Technology Inc. describes a device with a datapath for data transfers between a host device and a storage device, a firmware storage device storing multiple firmware tasks, and a processor with a hypervisor. The hypervisor executes firmware tasks in containers and controls datapath access based on tags associated with task instructions. The processor loads instructions, checks tags for legal jumps, determines datapath access types, and handles instructions accordingly.
The device's processor executes firmware tasks within containers by loading instructions and comparing tags for legal jumps. It determines datapath access types by querying a lookup table and handles instructions based on this information. The datapath includes a cryptographic component for encrypted data and a plaintext component for decrypted data, with the processor issuing read operations based on the lookup table mappings. The method and computer-readable storage medium also involve loading instructions, checking tags for legal jumps, determining datapath access types, and handling instructions accordingly, with the medium storing program instructions for these processes.
