  • Patent number: 11960899
    Abstract: An information handling system includes multiple dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) and a basic input/output system (BIOS). The DIMMs form a memory system of the information handling system. The BIOS begins a system boot of the information handling system, and performs a first memory reference code training. Based on the first memory reference code training, the BIOS discovers a bad DIMM of the DIMMs, and stores information associated with the bad DIMM. The BIOS reboots the information handling system. During the reboot, the BIOS retrieves the information associated with the bad DIMM. The BIOS disables a slot associated with the bad DIMM. In response to the slot being disabled, the BIOS performs a second memory reference code training. Based on the second memory reference code training, the BIOS downgrades the memory system to a closest possible DIMM population.

  • Patent number: 10176129
    Abstract: A control method for a first device of an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) system including a microcontroller unit (MCU), includes receiving a first indication from the MCU of the I2C system, wherein the first indication configures the first device from a slave mode to a master mode; polling the first device itself for status information of the first device when the first device is in the master mode; determining whether the status information of the first device matches a target status after polling; and determining to perform a parameter adjustment on a second device of the I2C system when determining that the status information of the first device matches the target status.
