Abstract
A memory module includes: a non-volatile memory; and an asynchronous memory interface to interface with a memory controller. The asynchronous memory interface may use repurposed pins of a double data rate (DDR) memory channel to send an asynchronous data to the memory controller. The asynchronous data may be device feedback indicating a status of the non-volatile memory.
