  • SYSTEM FOR RE-ENUMERATION OF USB 3.0 COMPATIBLE PERIPHERAL DEVICES
    Publication number: 20180081697
    Abstract: Described herein is a system comprising a peripheral device that is connected to a host device over a bus compatible with USB 3.0. The host device comprises a reduced functionality USB host controller configured to perform a set of one or more preprogrammed functions from the USB 3.0 specification, and a universal asynchronous receiver and transmitter (UART) configured to sample USB response data received from the peripheral device over the bus.

  • RE-ENUMERATION OF USB 3.0 COMPATIBLE DEVICES
    Publication number: 20180011718
    Abstract: A host device can download a firmware update to a peripheral device having previously enumerated with the host device. The host device can perform link training with the peripheral device in response to a re-enumeration indication received from the peripheral device. The link training can include switching a Link Training and Status State Machine (LTSSM) in the host device from an active state (U0) to an RX.Detect state and synchronizing with the peripheral device in the RX.Detect state. The host device can re-enumerate with the peripheral device utilizing the firmware update after the host device completes link training with the peripheral device.

  • Method, architecture and circuit for locking a data transmission frame
    Patent number: 6320881
    Abstract: A circuit comprising a first counter, a second counter, a third counter and a decoder, where the decoder may be configured to present a locked output signal. The first counter may present a first output signal in response to a start of frame signal and one or more control signals. The second counter may be configured to present a second output signal in response to the start of frame signal and the first output signal. The third counter may present a tracking control signal to the first counter in response to one or more of the control signals.
