Abstract: In order to make it possible to reduce the time required for the central power source control unit to perform power source control of the power source unit of the expanded apparatus, the central power source control unit includes: a power source control information holding unit which holds power source control information written by a central processing circuit for performing power source controlling of another power source device; and a transmission control unit which transmits the power source control information held in the power source control information holding unit to another power source control circuit that performs power source control of said another power source device.

Abstract: An embedded system having a programmable logic circuit, a plurality of storage devices each storing configuration data defining circuit information of the logic circuit, a setting information storage storing setting information including information of a storage device storing the configuration data and a controller selecting one of the plurality of storage devices based on the setting information and incorporating circuit information defined by configuration data stored in the selected storage device into the logic circuit.

Abstract: To make it possible to reliably halt writing processing while restraining erroneous writing to the memory unit, present apparatus has a memory unit to which data is written for each write request; a voltage converting unit which converts a first power source voltage into a first operable voltage with which a write request issuing unit is operable, and supplies the first operable voltage to the write request issuing unit; a voltage monitoring unit, which outputs an issuance restraining signal which restrains issuance of the write request, when the first power source voltage becomes lower than a reference voltage; and an issuance restrain controlling unit which receives the issuance restrain signal, and then after completion of writing for each of the write request to write memory unit, which restrains the issuance of the write request by the write request issuance unit.

Abstract: Oscillating precision of the first and the second oscillating sections each having the same oscillation frequency is determined in the oscillating precision determining section according to the timing of a signal supplied from the external time source, and in the internal time stepping control section, stepping control is provided over the internal time using a reference clock oscillated by any of the first and the second oscillating sections according to a result of determination of the oscillation precision.
