  • High-speed debug port using standard platform connectivity
    Patent number: 9870301
    Abstract: A processing device comprises a debug port controller to monitor operations of the processing device to determine whether the processing device is operating in a first mode or a second mode and to collect trace information comprising operating characteristics of the processing device. The processing device further comprises a display engine logic to process display data for output to a display device. In addition, the processing device comprises a display engine interface to provide, to a plurality of existing platform connectors, the display data from the display engine logic when the processing device is operating in the first primary mode and the trace information from the debug port controller when the processing device is operating in the second mode as determined by the debug port controller.

  • Method and apparatus for disabling power-on in a system requiring add-in modules
    Patent number: 6434653
    Abstract: A computer system includes a bus. A first connector is coupled to the bus. A power lock-out unit is coupled to the first connector. The power lock-out unit prevents a system power supply from receiving a power-on request when a first module is not coupled to the fiist connector.
