Abstract:
A method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprising: receiving a read instruction transmitted by a host device, the read instruction including a first address; reading first data together with a first CRC code and a first ECC which are associated with the first data from a memory based on the first address; and performing error detection on the first data based on the first CRC code, and performing error correction on the first data based on the first ECC if an error is detected. With the embodiments of the disclosure, the CRC code with better capability of error detection is adopted to perform error detection on the data. If any error is detected, error correction is performed using the ECC. Thus, it is possible to overcome the problem as to insufficient capability of error detection of the ECC in the prior art, thereby improving the system performance.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for processing a system command during memory backup. The method includes: acquiring a write address corresponding to a write operation command; if data corresponding to the write address has been read from a raw memory area but is not written to a backup memory area, mapping the write operation command to the raw memory area, and writing data to the write address in the raw memory area according to the write operation command; and deducting a set value from the write address to obtain an initial address to subsequently read data from the raw memory area. According to the embodiments of the present invention, a problem of system command blocking is solved during a memory backup operation, so that a system command is processed in a timely manner.
