Abstract

Providing command queuing in embedded memories is provided. In particular, aspects disclosed herein relate to a process through which a status of the queue is communicated to a host from a device. Aspects of the present disclosure use the command structure of the embedded Multi-Media Card (eMMC) standard, such that the host may determine a state of the queue in the device proximate a known end of an in-progress data transfer. In this manner, the host can select a task to commence after completion of a current data transfer while the current data transfer is still ongoing.
