9. The device of claim 8, wherein the device’s processor is informed that a new memory card has been inserted and may be accessed from the non-volatile memory storage.
9. The system of claim 8, wherein the PCI control hub is responsible for indicating that the memory card is in use, in response to determining that data is being copied from the memory card to the non-volatile memory storage.
10. The system of claim 8, wherein the device comprises the IO control hub, the non-volatile memory storage, and the PCI control hub.
11. The system of claim 8, wherein the memory card is detected and loaded into the non-volatile memory storage while the device is fully operational.
12. The system of claim 8, wherein the memory card is detected and loaded into the non-volatile memory storage while the device is in a powered down state.
13. The system of claim 12, wherein the powered down state is a standby mode designated for the device.
14. The system of claim 12, wherein the standby mode designated for the device is approximately S3 or a mode that uses more power than S3.
15. The system of claim 8, wherein the informing is postponed until the device is fully operational.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a receiver configured to detect a first sidelink synchronization signal; and
