Enhanced serial peripheral interface (eSPI) signaling for crash event notification
Embodiments may include apparatus, systems, and methods associated with an Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface (eSPI) channel interface to couple to a data bus to link an eSPI primary device to an eSPI secondary device. In embodiments, the eSPI primary device includes an eSPI device controller and is coupled to the channel interface and transmits a notification of a crash event, e.g., a catastrophic error (CATERR), via packet-based signaling, such as a virtual wire (VW) over the data bus to allow the eSPI primary device to transmit the notification of the crash event without allocation of a dedicated wire signal for the notification between the eSPI primary device and the eSPI secondary device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
ENRICHED PRE-EXTENSIBLE FIRMWARE INTERFACE INITIALIZATION GRAPHICS
An information handling system includes an embedded controller configured to transmit an error code to a pre-extensible firmware interface initialization module. A graphics font manager may generate a glyphs database during a boot process. If the error code is associated with a no power-on self-test, no video condition, then the pre-extensible firmware interface initialization module may retrieve information associated with the error code transmitted by the embedded controller, and locate the glyphs database generated by the graphics font manager from the non-volatile storage device.
Medical device and method of operating a medical device and detection of a short circuit
This disclosure concerns a medical device designed for delivering a medical fluid or designed for controlling delivery of a medical fluid, and to a method of operating such a medical device. The medical device comprises a user interface associated with an electronic circuit connected to a first port and to a second port of a controller. The electronic circuit enables the controller to detect actuation of the user interface. The controller is configured to execute the following sequence of steps: first step: configure the first port as an output port and to apply a first signal to the first port; second step: to acquire a second signal from the second port; and third step: to determine on the basis of the second signal if a short circuit has occurred and to generate a short circuit alert signal if applicable.

The one or more characteristics of the touch panel may include a number of transmit electrodes and a number of receive electrodes.
HOST CONTROLLED ELECTRONIC DEVICE TESTING
An electronic device can be configured to enable a host to indirectly control testing associated with the electronic device. The interface between the host and the electronic device can be abstract, such that the host does not have direct control over the electronic device. Examples of the electronic device include a memory device and a power management integrated circuit. The electronic device can allow the host to discover a quantity of tests supported by the electronic device and corresponding test descriptors. The electronic device can interact with the host to configure tests and/or reporting of test results.
Methods, electronic devices, storage systems, and computer program products for error detection
Techniques for error detection involve injecting, to a switch of a storage system, information representing an error of at least one device to be tested of the system, such that the information representing the error is passed from an upstream port of the switch to a computing device connected with the switch, the switch being connected to the at least one device to be tested via a downstream port. The techniques further involve obtaining a handling result of the computing device on the information representing the error, and determining an error handling capability of the system at least partly by analyzing the handling result. Accordingly, slave storage devices of storage system nodes, connectors, the entire PCIe topology at the CPU level, and an NVMe bus can be tested, so that the entire logical path of the error handling can be tested, thereby improving performance and saving testing costs.

Method and system for detection of post routine deviation for a network device
A system and method for identifying, analyzing, and repairing deviations in a power-on self-test routine (POST) of a computer system is disclosed. The computer system includes a basic input output system (BIOS) including a POST routine executed between power-on and hand off to an operating system. A memory stores a golden image POST code sequence. The controller and BIOS receive a sequence of POST codes from the execution of the POST routine. The sequence of POST codes is compared to the golden image POST code sequence. A deviation in the POST routine is identified based on at least one POST code of the sequence of the POST codes not matching the golden image POST code sequence. The identified deviation may be analyzed for further information in a message. The message may be used to recover from the deviation.
