  • Register-based communications interface
    Patent number: 10324777
    Abstract: An example device may include processing circuitry and a management controller. The processing circuitry may include a communications interface that includes a first register and a second register. The first register may include a freshness bit and a number of first data bits. The second register may include a number of second data bits that correspond, respectively, to the first data bits. The processing circuitry may write variously to the first data bits in response to detected events, set the freshness bit in response to the management controller reading the first data bits, and reset the freshness bit if any of the first data bits are written to. The management controller may read the first data bits, perform predetermined processing based thereon, write to the second data bits based on the predetermined processing, and request a register transfer.
