Abstract: A system and method for controlling a synchronous test in a testing device include inserting a synchronous command into a test program of the testing device, and defines a first synchronous data and a second synchronous data for the testing device. When the synchronous command is executed by the test program, the method sends a pause command to suspend the test program and to send the first synchronous data into the shared file of a host device. The testing device monitors whether the second synchronous data exists in the shared file, when sending the first synchronous data to the host device. If the second synchronous data is monitored in the shared file, the method informs a processor of the testing device to execute the test program continually.

Abstract: A diskless workstation and method avoids resource conflict when the diskless workstation is booted by a server. The diskless workstation downloads a boot program, a kernel, an image file and a configuration file from a server to a memory of the diskless workstation. The kernel is stated and a temporary file directory is created in the memory. The created temporary file directory is mounted to a default temporary file directory of the root directory. A subdirectory in the created temporary directory is created and a record file in the subdirectory is created for recording information during the running of the operating system.

Abstract: A method of diskless booting an electronic device sends a request for an IP address of the electronic device to a pre-boot execution environment (PXE) server. After receiving the request, the PXE server allocates an IP address to the electronic device, and sends a bootstrap program to the electronic device. The electronic device receives a configuration file of the electronic device from the PXE server, and executes one or more operating system kernels of the configuration file.
