Abstract
A variety of applications can include apparatus and/or methods of operating the apparatus in which functionalities of a memory device of the apparatus can be extended by changing data flow behaviour associated with standard commands used between a host platform and the memory device. Such functionalities can include debug capabilities. In an embodiment, a standard write command and data using a standard protocol to write to a memory device is received in the memory device, where the data is setup information to enable an extension component in the memory device. An extension component includes instructions in the memory device to execute operations on components of the memory device. The memory device can execute operations of the enabled extension component in the memory device based on the setup information. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
