Abstract

An apparatus for data transmission between memories has a memory controller as well as a memory protocol controller. In one embodiment, a first memory controller is operatively connected to a first memory, and a memory protocol controller is operatively connected between the first memory controller and a second memory, wherein the first memory is a volatile memory and the second memory is a nonvolatile memory. The volatile memory includes a command list containing a command sequence for the memory protocol controller. The memory protocol controller may be configured to produce at least one of an error detection code and an error correction code when an error condition occurs.
