Methods, systems, and devices for hardware reset management for universal flash storage (UFS) are described. A UFS device may initiate a boot-up procedure that includes multiple phases. The UFS device may perform a first reset operation to reset one or more circuits based on receiving a first reset command during a first phase. The UFS device perform a second phase and may initiate a portion of a second reset operation to reset the one or more circuits during the second phase based on a likelihood that a second reset command is to be received. The UFS device may receive the second reset command during the second phase after initiating the portion of the second reset operation. The UFS device may initiate a second portion of the second reset operation based on receiving the second reset command and initiating the portion of the second reset operation.

Hardware reset management for universal flash storage

Apparatus and methods are disclosed, including test systems for memory devices. Example test systems and methods include power loss logic to determine when one or more test conditions have been met in a memory operation between a host device and a memory device under test. Example test systems and methods include a function to then instruct a power management device to trigger a power loss event.

Power loss test engine device and method

Devices and techniques are disclosed herein for determining, using a host device, a timing relationship between a data strobe signal, such as from an embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) device, and an internal clock signal. The host device can control a delay circuit using the determined timing relationship, such as to align received read data for sampling, or to determine or adjust a delay value of the delay circuit.
