Abstract
A method and apparatus for using a memory adapter may allow a system to access the memory adapter. The memory adapter may comprise a list of entries for data within the memory adapter. Each entry may include an adapter memory segment offset, a segment length, a segment status, and a corresponding system memory address. The adapter memory segment offset may be the location of the offset within the memory adapter. A processor may access the adapter memory segment offsets through the system address space. The method and apparatus may be used to perform functions, such as read adapter memory, write adapter memory, insert adapter memory segment, remove an adapter memory segment, scan for an adapter memory segment, scan for a removable adapter memory segment, and potentially other functions.
