  • Hardware and software triggered programmable reset circuitry for serial communication device
    Patent number: 5968172
    Abstract: Hardware and software triggered programmable reset circuitry for a serial communication device. The invention has particular use in conjunction with an IEEE 1394 standard serial communication device ("serial card") within a computer system. The serial communication device is for coupling with a peripheral component interface (PCI) bus of the computer system. The serial communication device provides a serial bus onto which other devices can connect. The present invention provides a reset circuit that is triggered by software and/or hardware. In one embodiment, the software triggering portion of the invention is triggered by three sources. A particular address range is predefined and software triggered accesses over this address range cause a reset on the serial card. Second, a predefined device ID pattern is presented to a device ID circuit causing the device ID circuit to generate a reset on the serial card.
