Dynamic Pci Device Identification Redirection On A Configuration Space Access Conflict

View page
US Patent:
6636904, Oct 21, 2003
Filed:
Nov 18, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/443687
Inventors:
Walter G. Fry - Houston TX
Robert E. Krancher - Houston TX
Richard S. Lin - Houston TX
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06F 300
US Classification:
710 8, 710 9, 710 10, 710 38, 710303, 710311, 710312, 710313, 710316
Abstract:
A computer system reroutes a configuration cycle intended for an unused system bus address line to the IDSEL, or equivalent, configuration chip select input pin of a device which uses the same system bus address line as another device on the system bus. The computer system has a PCI bus to which a programmable logic device and an electronically-controlled switch are connected. The programmable logic device detects PCI bus configuration cycles associated with a PCI bus AD line that is otherwise unused as a chip select during configuration cycles. When the logic device detects a configuration cycle associated with the unused AD line, the logic device asserts a control signal to the electronically-controlled switch. The switch then connects the previously unused AD line to the AD line that is connected to the IDSEL input pin of the PCI device that experiences the conflict. The PCI device then effectively responds to the configuration read or write cycle as if its IDSEL input pin was hardwired to the switched AD line.

Handling Of Multiple Compliant And Non-Compliant Wake-Up Sources In A Computer System

View page
US Patent:
6654896, Nov 25, 2003
Filed:
May 16, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/571475
Inventors:
Scott P. Saunders - Spring TX
Robert E. Krancher - Houston TX
Richard S. Lin - Houston TX
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06F 126
US Classification:
713323, 713300, 713310, 710260
Abstract:
A system and method are disclosed for handling devices that assert a wake-up signal in an improper fashion. It is observed that any wake-up signals that remain asserted as the computer system enters a low-power mode are likely produced by non-compliant cards, and to assure proper functioning of the system, it is desirable for the computer system to selectively block assertion of asserted signals from non-compliant cards. In one embodiment the computer system includes an expansion bus coupled to a bus bridge, and a signal gate. The expansion bus includes a wake-up signal that the signal gate can be configured to isolate from the bus bridge. The signal gate is preferably controlled by the power management controller. The power management controller sets the signal gate to isolate the signal from the bus bridge if the controller determines that wake-up signal is being driven in a non-standard manner. The non-compliance may be determined by: (a) detecting a transition of the computer to a reduced power state; (b) pausing for a predetermined delay; and (c) sampling the wake-up signal to identify any asserted wake-up signals.

Identifying And Synchronizing Incompatibilities Between A Portable Computer And A Docking Station

View page
US Patent:
6799237, Sep 28, 2004
Filed:
May 30, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/870258
Inventors:
Robert E. Krancher - Houston TX
Scott P. Saunders - Spring TX
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06F 1300
US Classification:
710300, 710303, 710304, 710104
Abstract:
The present invention comprises a system and method for insuring that a notebook computer and a docking station are compatible. This determination is made by each of the notebook and docking station communicating via a serial communication pathway. Each of these devices reads a product code and a ROM date associated with the other device, and then independently determine whether the other device may be safely communicated with or âdocked. â The systems and methods also take into account that two devices may be docked, but that only minimum functionality can exist between them based on differences in software revisions. In this case, the systems and methods allow the two devices to dock, but the computer system user is notified of the differences in software revisions.

Dynamic Pci Device Identification Redirection On A Configuration Space Access Conflict

View page
US Patent:
7043570, May 9, 2006
Filed:
Sep 18, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/664746
Inventors:
Walter G. Fry - Houston TX, US
Robert E. Krancher - Houston TX, US
Richard S. Lin - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06F 3/00
US Classification:
710 8, 710 9, 710 10, 710 38, 710303, 710311, 710312, 710313, 710316
Abstract:
A computer system with dynamic device identification redirection. The computer system may include a processor, a system memory, and a bridge logic device having a peripheral bus interface. The bridge logic device is associated with at least a first address line, which is also associated with a first peripheral device. The computer system may also include a logic device coupled to the peripheral bus that swaps a second address line for the first address line when a peripheral bus cycle is run to the first address line.
