Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for memory device heating in cold environments are described. A memory system may use system components to accelerate the heating of a non-volatile memory device that stores boot data associated with a boot up procedure at a host system. For example, the memory system may determine that a temperature associated with the memory system fails to satisfy a threshold. Based on the temperature failing to satisfy the threshold, a controller of the memory system may perform a heating procedure that increases a heat of and emitted by the controller (e.g., a heating element coupled with the controller) to accelerate the heating of the non-volatile memory device. The memory system may read the boot data from the non-volatile memory device based on the heating procedure and transmit the boot data to the host system.
