Abstract
According to the present invention, a method for controlling access to a memory device is disclosed. A requesting system is identified, the configurable system interface is then configured in order to accommodate the identified requesting system and a memory access request is generated by the requesting system. A universal command is generated by the configurable system interface based upon the memory access request which is then converted from the universal command to a sequenced universal command by the command sequencer based upon both the current state of the memory device as indicated by the corresponding resource tag and the operating characteristic of the memory as indicated by the corresponding the characteristic operating parameter. The memory is then accessed using the sequenced universal command.
