  • Method and device for handling SMBus messages
    Patent number: 8458367
    Abstract: An SMBus message handler, an integrated circuit and a method for controlling an SMBus are disclosed which identifies starting address of a program being stored in a memory. Instructions of the program are fetched one after another into a finite-state machine which controls the data transfer between an SMBus interface and a register set in compliance with the instruction present in the finite-state machine. Further, an SMBus test device and a method for controlling a testing system are described which check as to whether a key is input from a second interface. Upon inputting of a key it is mapped to a sequence of instructions for controlling devices connected to the SMBus or transferring data or receiving data from the devices connected to the SMBus.

  • Block transfer for WLAN device control
    Patent number: 7532625
    Abstract: A block transfer technique is provided for controlling a data transfer to and/or from a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) device connected to a data processing system. The data processing system comprises an operating system independent access controller and a platform specific data block transfer engine. The operating system independent access controller is configured to prepare the platform specific data block transfer engine to perform the data transfer to and/or from the WLAN device.
