ABSTRACT:
An embedded disk controller comprises a first processor in communication with a first bus and a second processor in communication with a second bus. An external bus controller (“EBC”) is located on the embedded disk controller, is coupled to an external bus and to at least one of the first bus and the second bus, and manages a plurality of memory devices external to the embedded disk controller via the external bus. A first one of the plurality of memory devices has at least one of different timing characteristics and a different data width than a second one of the plurality of memory devices.
