Method of processing hard disk drive
View Patent ↗A method of processing a hard disk drive. The method can include downloading at least two process codes and a main code to a first storage area of the hard disk drive, sequentially performing processes based on the at least two process codes, and installing the main code in a second storage area.
1. A method of processing a hard disk drive, the method comprising:
downloading at least two process codes and a main code to a first storage area of the hard disk drive;
sequentially performing processes based on the at least two process codes; and
installing the main code in a second storage area.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first storage area is a first flash memory.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least two process codes comprise at least two among a servo copy code, a function/HDA test code, and a burn-in code.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the second storage area comprises at least one among a portion of the first flash memory and a second flash memory.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first flash memory and the second flash memory are a NAND flash memory and a NOR flash memory, respectively.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
removing a process code corresponding to a process that has been completed from the first storage area.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hard disk drive is one of a hybrid disk drive and a solid state drive (SSD).
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sequentially performing the processes based on the at least two process codes comprises:
loading one of the at least two process codes to at least one among the second storage area and a random access memory (RAM); and
performing a process based on the loaded process code.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the sequentially performing the processes based on the at least two process codes further comprises:
performing soft reset after the process is completed.
10. A method of processing a hard disk drive, the method comprising:
downloading process codes necessary for all processes and a main code to a first storage area of the hard disk drive;
sequentially performing the processes based on the process codes; and
installing the main code in the hard disk drive after all of the processes are completed.
11. A method of processing a hard disk drive, the method comprising:
downloading a plurality of process codes necessary for all processes to predetermined memory addresses of a first storage area of the hard disk drive;
sequentially loading at least part of a process code among the plurality of downloaded process codes corresponding to a current process to a RAM connected with a host to perform each process; and
storing a main code in a portion of the first storage area.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first storage area is a NAND flash memory.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first storage area is a NOR flash memory.
