Abstract
A method for initializing a memory sub-system is provided. The method includes loading configuration registers of a plurality of memory hubs with the configuration information provided by a respective one of a plurality of embedded non-volatile memories integrated in the respective memory hub. The non-VOLATILE memory is accessed through a first configuration path from a memory controller of the memory sub-system to the non-VOLATILE memory.

8. A method of initializing a memory sub-system, comprising:
-
accessing a non-volatile memory that contains configuration information specific to the memory sub-system on which the non-volatile memory is located, the configuration information being stored in the non-volatile memory before initialization, the non-volatile memory accessed through a first configuration path from a memory controller of the memory sub-system to the non-volatile memory; loading a configuration register of a memory controller with the configuration information from the non-volatile memory through a first configuration path; receiving memory access requests from a host system; and providing the host system access to the non-volatile memory through a second configuration path. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method of initializing a memory sub-system, comprising:
-
accessing a non-volatile memory that contains configuration information specific to the memory sub-system on which the non-volatile memory is located, the configuration information being stored in the non-volatile memory before initialization, the non-volatile memory accessed through a first configuration path from a memory controller of the memory sub-system to the non-volatile memory; loading at least one configuration register of the memory controller with at least a portion of the configuration information through the first configuration path; providing a host system access to the non-volatile memory through a second configuration path; receiving, by the memory controller, at least one memory access request from the host system; and accessing, by the memory controller in response to the at least one memory access request and in accordance with the at least a portion of the configuration information, at least a portion of memory of the memory sub-system. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
