Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing BIOS data and non-BIOS data on the same non-volatile memory. According to one aspect, a system for providing BIOS data and non-BIOS data on the same non-volatile memory includes a controller for controlling access by a host to a non-volatile memory for storing data, the data including BIOS data and non-BIOS data. The controller includes a first bus interface for communicating data to and from the host via a first bus of a first bus protocol, a second bus interface for communicating data to and from the host via a second bus of a second bus protocol, and a third interface for communicating data to and from the non-volatile memory. The first bus comprises a bus that is operable after power-on reset and before BIOS is accessed.
