Abstract:
1. A solid-state disk (SSD) controller comprising: a first integrated circuit (IC) including: an interface module configured to externally interface the SSD controller to a computing device; a memory control module configured to: a wireless network interface module configured to communicate with the computing device via the interface module, the wireless network interface module further configured to permit the computing device to connect to a wireless network; a crossbar module having a master bus (Mbus) interface, wherein the interface module, the memory control module, and the wireless network interface module each includes a respective Mbus interface configured to communicate with the crossbar module via the Mbus interface of the crossbar module; a processor configured to communicate with the memory control module, the wireless network interface module, and the crossbar module via an advanced high-performance bus (AHB); an AHB-to-Mbus bridge configured to bridge the AHB to the Mbus interface of the crossbar module; and double-data-rate (DDR) memory configured to communicate with at least one of the wireless network interface module and the crossbar module via at least one of the AHB and the Mbus interface, wherein, in response to (i) data being cached from the computing device to the solid-sate memory or (ii) data cached in the solid-state memory being output to the computing device, the wireless network interface module is configured to
