1. A memory sub-system, comprising:
- a main memory;
a storage device;
a control unit configured to control the main memory and the storage device; and
a common interface unit operatively coupled to the control unit, wherein the common interface unit is configured to access the main memory and the storage device through the control unit in response to a request from a host,wherein the control unit is configured to control the main memory and the storage device based on a command included in a request packet received from the host,wherein a first data packet following the request packet is an extended request packet, and the control unit is configured to control the main memory and the storage device based on an extended command included in an extended header of the extended request packet when the command corresponds to an extended memory operation.

12. A computing system, comprising:
-
a host comprising a processor; and a memory sub-system operatively coupled to the host, wherein the memory sub-system is configured to execute a request received from the host, wherein the memory sub-system comprises; a main memory; a storage device; a control unit configured to control the main memory and the storage device; and a common interface unit operatively coupled to the control unit, wherein the common interface unit is configured to access the main memory and the storage device through the control unit in response to the request received from the host, wherein the control unit is configured to control the main memory and the storage device based on a command included in a request packet received from the host, wherein a first data packet following the request packet is an extended request packet, and the control unit is configured to control the main memory and the storage device based on an extended command included in an extended header of the extended request packet when the command corresponds to an extended memory operation.

13. An interface unit for a computing system, comprising:
-
a decoder, comprising; a header parser configured to extract a header from a packet received from a host, analyze the extracted header, and provide a command to a control unit of a memory sub-system in the computing system, and a payload detector configured to detect a payload in the packet received from the host, and provide the detected payload to the control unit; and an encoder, comprising; a header generator configured to generate a header of a packet to be transmitted to the host based on an output received from the control unit, and a payload generator configured to generate a payload of the packet to be transmitted to the host based on the output received from the control unit, wherein the interface unit is disposed in the memory sub-system, and is configured to access a main memory and a storage device in the memory sub-system through the control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to control the main memory and the storage device based on the command, wherein the decoder further comprises; an extended header parser configured to extract an extended header from an extended request packet received from the host, analyze the extracted extended header, and provide an extended command to the control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to control the main memory and the storage device based on the extended command when the command corresponds to an extended memory operation. - View Dependent Claims (14)
