  • Techniques of storing operational states of processes at particular memory locations of an embedded-system device
    Patent number: 10474517
    Abstract: A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be an embedded-system device. The embedded-system device determines a respective operational state of each of one or more processes of the embedded-system device. The embedded-system device stores the respective operational state of each of the one or more processes at a memory location in a respective memory area for the each process in a memory of the embedded-system device. The embedded-system device stores the memory locations associated with the one or more processes in a register in the memory. The embedded-system device obtains, from the register, a memory location of at least one process of the one or more processes. The embedded-system device obtains, based on the memory location of the at least one process, the stored operational state of the at least one process from the respective memory area for the at least one process.

  • System and method for detecting redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controller state from baseboard management controller (BMC)
    Patent number: 9946552
    Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronizing a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controller with a management controller. The system includes the management controller, a RAID having the RAID controller connected to the management controller; and a serial bus connected to the management controller and the RAID controller. The RAID controller is configured to, when the RAID is powered up, assert the serial bus with a ready signal, and the management controller is configured to, upon checking the ready signal from the serial bus, construct a communication with the RAID controller for communicating with the RAID.
