  • Controller and a method for power sequencing a computer
    Patent number: 10534415
    Abstract: A controller and a method for power sequencing a computer. The controller may be configured to provide to a south bridge, before the south bridge has completed power management resets, a real time clock signal at a first frequency, and provide to the south bridge, after the south bridge has completed power management resets, a real time clock signal at a second frequency.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 27, 2017
    Date of Patent: January 14, 2020
    Assignee: Raytheon Company
    Inventor: Debbie A. Walker

  • Controller and a method for controlling a boot process
    Patent number: 8909914
    Abstract: A computer, a computer system and a method of booting the computer and computer systems within 300 milliseconds of receiving power. The computer may be configured to simultaneously power sequence a controller, a processor and a chipset. The computer may be further configured to transfer a boot image from a non-volatile memory to a first volatile memory. The controller may be further configured to transfer the boot image from the first volatile memory to a volatile memory associated with the processor using a PCI-Express interface.
