Abstract
Methods and systems are provided that may include a memory device having a physical nonvolatile memory, a memory space, and a controller. At least a portion of a physical nonvolatile memory may permit a direct read operation of the physical nonvolatile memory and prohibit a direct write operation of the physical nonvolatile memory. A memory space may comprise at least open one write overlay window available after a reset operation. Such a memory space may be adapted to permit at least one read overlay window to be opened that is logically separate from at least one open write overlay window. A controller may be included to open at least one read overlay window.
