Abstract
Memory with fail indicators, and associated systems, devices, and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a system includes a plurality of memory systems and a host device. At least one of the memory systems includes a fail indicator connected to the host device via a side channel of the system. The host device is configured to detect an occurrence of a failure on the at least one memory system and to initiate activation of the fail indicator. The side channel can be an I2C or I3C® side channel. The fail indicator, when activated, can provide a visual indication of the failure. For example, the fail indicator can include an LED that can be activated to emit light and provide an indication of the failure. A color of the light can correspond to a type, occurrence, or location of the failure on the at least one memory system.
