Abstract
A Data Storage Device (DSD) includes a Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) for storing data and a first processor configured to execute a firmware for retrieving data from the NVM and storing data in the NVM. A second processor of the DSD executes an application Operating System (OS) to interface with the first processor. The second processor sends a command to the first processor using the application OS to retrieve data from the NVM or store data in the NVM.
