Abstract:
Several systems and methods of chip select are described. In one such method, a device maintains two identifiers, (ID_a and ID_m). When the device receives a command, it examines the values of ID_a and ID_m relative to a third reference identifier (ID_s). If either ID_a or ID_m is equivalent to ID_s, the device executes the command, otherwise, the device ignores the command. By using two different identification methods, a system has options in choosing to activate devices, being able to selectively switch between selecting multiple devices and single devices in a quick manner. In another such method, a device may have a persistent area that stores identification information such as an ID_a. Thus, system functionality may remain independent from any defect/marginality associated with the physical or logical components required for initial ID_a assignment of all devices in the system.

Claim (Index 9):
The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the logic of each device includes:\n a check for a command incoming to the device; a first determination of whether the command is a select identifier command; an update of a value of an assigned identifier of the device in response to results of the first determination being that the command is a select identifier command; a second determination of whether the command has a value for a select identifier that matches one of the assigned identifiers, the second determination being in response to the first determination being that the command is not the select identifier command; and an allowance for the device to perform the command that is not the select identifier command in response to the second determination being that the value for the select identifier matches one of the assigned identifiers.
