Methods and systems are provided that execute reduced host data commands. A reduced host data command may be a write command that includes or is received with an indication of host data instead of the host data. The reduced host data command may be executed with a Direct Memory Access (DMA) circuit independently of a processor that executes administrative commands. In the execution of the reduced host data command, host data may be generated, metadata may be generated, and the generated host data and/or metadata may be copied into backend memory with the DMA circuit independently of the processor.

Reduced host data command processing

Techniques described herein relate to updating firmware of multiple non-volatile memory devices having diverse configurations using a common update file. The non-volatile memory device may include a flash memory device having a non-volatile memory array. Particular implementations described herein relate to circuits, devices, systems, and methods that update, with a common update file, firmware residing on multiple non-volatile memory devices having diverse configurations.
