The method further includes a computer processor determining that the received data is a type of data that is stored in a first logical partition, wherein the first logical partition is a logical partition of non-volatile memory of the microcontroller. The method further includes a computer processor determining whether the first logical partition includes sufficient space to store the received data.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for preventing unauthorized use of protected equipment in violation of export regulations are provided. Aspects include periodically obtaining a location of the protected equipment and storing the location in a location log in a non-volatile memory. Upon receiving a request to operate the protected equipment, aspects also include obtaining the location log from the non-volatile memory and parsing data from the location log to determine whether the protected equipment entered a restricted geographic area. Based on a determination that the protected equipment did not enter a restricted geographic area, aspects include granting the request to operate the protected equipment.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes executing firmware including a command list configured to maintain commands executable by a host processor of a field-programmable unit. One or more of the commands define communications between the host processor and one or more back-end processors of the field-replaceable unit. The command list includes both periodic commands representing periodic processes and non-periodic commands representing non-periodic processes. Each command in the command list is set to one of active mode and inactive mode. Executing the firmware includes cycling through the command list, and executing, by the host processor, only the commands in the command list that are set to active mode while cycling through the command list.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for serially transmitting processor commands of different execution priority. A front-end processor, for example, serially receives processor commands. A low-priority queue coupled to the front-end processor stores low-priority commands, and a high-priority queue coupled to the front-end processor stores high-priority commands. A controller enables transmission of commands from either the low-priority queue or the high-priority queue for execution.
