  • ENABLING UNIVERSAL CORE MOTHERBOARD WITH FLEXIBLE INPUT-OUTPUT PORTS
    Publication number: 20240104043
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a module which can be inserted into or removed from a computing device by a user. The module includes an input-output port which is configured for a desired specification, such as USB-A, USB-C, Thunderbolt, DisplayPort or HDMI. The port can be provided on an expansion card such as an M.2 card for communicating with a host platform. The host platform can communicate with different types of modules in a standardized way so that complexity and costs are reduced. In another aspect, with a dual port module, the host platform can concurrently send/receive power through one port and send/receive data from the other port.

  • Inband messaging method for integrated type-C universal serial bus detection using enhanced serial peripheral interconnect
    Patent number: 10719469
    Abstract: A method implemented by a system on a chip (SOC) system executing an enhance serial peripheral interconnect (eSPI) master. The method to receive an alert from an eSPI slave, send a get out of band message to the eSPI slave, and receive an out of band message from the eSPI slave including a connection or disconnection command. The method enabling the SOC to include an embedded multiplexor for managing the role of a universal serial bus (USB) Type-C connector.

  • Providing adaptive bandwidth allocation for a fixed priority arbiter
    Patent number: 8930602
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving requests from requestors in an arbiter, detecting that none of the requestors have a qualified request for at least one cycle of an arbitration round, and preventing a grant count reload of grant counters associated with the when at least one of the requestors has available grants for the arbitration round. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Method, apparatus and system for generating access information from an LRU tracking list
    Patent number: 8364915
    Abstract: Techniques for generating access information indicating a least recently used (LRU) memory region in a set of memory regions. In an embodiment, data is stored in an entry of an LRU tracking list (LTL) based on a touch message indicating when a memory group has been touched—e.g. read from, written to and/or associated with a memory region. The data stored in an LTL entry may include an identifier of a memory group and/or validity data specifying whether that LTL entry stores a set of default data. In another embodiment, access information may be generated based on the memory group identifier and the validity data.
