An example electronic device may include a storage device including a device interface and a non-volatile memory; an interface including a plurality of transmitting lanes and a plurality of receiving lanes and configured to communicate with the storage device; and at least one processor configured to control processing of data through the interface based on an input/output request generated by an application, wherein one or more of the at least one processor may process the data through a first group of lanes when the input/output request indicates data write; process the data through a second group of lanes, in which more lanes than the first group of lanes are enabled, when the input/output request indicates data read; and process the data through the second group of lanes when the amount of resources of the electronic device used while the data is processed through the first group of lanes exceeds a designated level.

Data processing system and operation method of data processing apparatus

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a processor, a volatile memory, and a storage. The processor is configured to, in response to a request for data included in a file, identify information of the file and a type of the request, configure a flag for the request if the file is determined to correspond to at least one in a list of a designated information table, identify, based on the flag, mapping information of a specific region, which includes a logical address of the data, in mapping information for mapping of logical addresses and physical addresses for the non-volatile memory of the storage, acquire, in response to the mapping information of the specific region existing in the volatile memory, a physical address of the non-volatile memory mapped to the logical address of the data, and transmit the request, including the acquired physical address of the non-volatile memory, to the storage.

Electronic device including storage and method of processing data request using mapping information stored in non-volatile memory loaded into volatile memory

An electronic device includes at least one processor, a Universal Flash Storage (UFS) device controller operatively coupled with the at least one processor, a UFS interface including a plurality of downstream lanes for transmitting data and a plurality of upstream lanes for transmitting data and storage including a cache memory and a plurality of non-volatile memories. The at least one processor transmits a first control signal to instruct measuring a temperature of the storage and identifying of the measured temperature exceeding a threshold value to the UFS device controller, receives a status signal indicating that the measured temperature exceeds the threshold value from the UFS device controller, and based on the status signal, transmits, to the UFS device controller, a second control signal to instruct that deactivating at least some of the plurality of downstream lanes and upstream lanes, or deactivating the cache memory in the storage.

Electronic device, method, non-transitory computer-readable storage media, and UFS card including UFS storage device

An electronic device according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include a storage device including a memory and a memory controller that controls the memory, and a processor operatively coupled to the storage device, wherein the processor may be configured to: identify a version of firmware for driving the memory controller, stop providing an input/output request to the storage device based on the identified firmware version, transmit updated firmware to the storage device based on the storage device completing an input/output operation corresponding to an input/output request waiting to be processed within a specified time, and reset the storage device to allow the memory controller to execute the updated firmware based on completion of installation of the updated firmware in the storage device.

Electronic device and operation method thereof

The various embodiments disclose an electronic device including: a storage including a non-volatile memory having a buffer space and a storage space, a storage device controller, and a storage interface, and a processor. According to various embodiments, the processor may be configured to perform control to determine whether the storage supports a high speed data storage mode using a buffer space of a non-volatile memory of the storage, activate a function of writing data buffered in the buffer space of the non-volatile memory into a storage space of the non-volatile memory based on the storage interface operating in a first state based on the storage supporting the high speed data storage mode, and transition the storage interface of the storage to the first state based on no request to the storage being generated during a predetermined time period based on the storage interface operating in a second state.

Electronic device and method of utilizing storage space thereof

An electronic device having an external memory according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may include a communication unit; an internal memory configured to store a first electronic device information of the electronic device and a first booting data in a first booting area, said first booting data is loaded when an electric power is supplied to the electronic device; an external memory configured to store a second electronic device information of the electronic device, firmware corresponding to the electronic device in a firmware storage area, and updated firmware received via the communication unit in a firmware update information storage area; and a controller configured to compare the second electronic device information stored in the external memory and the first electronic device information stored in the internal memory and configured to control to change the firmware in the firmware storage area based on the updated firmware stored in the firmware update information storage area during booting of the electronic device when the first and second electronic device information are not identical.
