Abstract: Certain aspects direct to systems and methods for platform simulation for development projects of a management controller, such as a baseboard management controller (BMC). The management controller stores a firmware module and a simulator module. The firmware module is supposed to receive thermal output signals from cooling zones of a computing device. The simulator module is a software implemented module used to simulate the cooling zones, by generating the thermal output signals of the cooling zones based on configuration data stored in a data store, and sending the simulated thermal output signals to the firmware module for development and testing purposes.

Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be an embedded-system device. The embedded-system device determines a respective operational state of each of one or more threads of a process executing on the embedded-system device. The embedded-system device stores the respective operational state of each of the one or more threads in a thread state register in a memory of the embedded-system device. The embedded-system device stores information data associated with the respective operational state of each of the one or more threads in the thread state register. The embedded-system device determines that operation of at least one thread of the one or more threads is abnormal. The embedded-system device retrieves the stored operational states of the one or more threads from the thread state register in response to the determination. The embedded-system device outputs the retrieved operational states.
