The application provides a temperature increasing device and a temperature increasing method. The temperature increasing device is arranged on a motherboard including at least one system element. The temperature increasing device includes a power supply module and a controller After the power supply module is triggered, the power supply module outputs an enable signal to the system element and the controller, the controller detects whether the system element operates according to a preset power-on action, if the controller determines that the system element does not operate according to the preset power-on action, the controller outputs an electric signal to enable the temperature of the system element to increase, and when the temperature of the system element is increased to an extent that the controller determines that the system element is capable of operating according to the preset power-on action, the controller stops outputting the electric signal.

Example embodiments relate to low-overhead, bidirectional error checking for a serial peripheral interface. An example device includes an integrated circuit. The device also includes a serial peripheral interface (SPI) with a Master In Slave Out (MISO) channel and a Master Out Slave In (MOSI) channel. The MOSI channel is configured to receive a write address, payload data, and a forward error-checking code usable to identify data corruption within the write address or the payload data. The integrated circuit is configured to calculate and provide a reverse error-checking code usable to identify data corruption within the write address or the payload data. Additionally, the integrated circuit is configured to compare the forward error-checking code to the reverse error-checking code. Further, the integrated circuit is configured to write, to the write address if the forward error-checking code matches the reverse error-checking code, the payload data.

A system includes a memory device of multiple devices, and a processing device of the multiple devices, coupled with the memory device. The system identifies multiple device temperature values that are each indicative of a temperature at a respective device of the multiple devices of the system. The system determines that at least one device temperature value of the multiple device temperature values satisfies a respective thermal throttling threshold of multiple thermal throttling thresholds. The system performs a power reducing operation to reduce a power consumption of the system in accordance with a power reduction value based on the satisfaction of the respective thermal throttling threshold.

A management controller is disclosed. The management controller may include a receiver to receive a request from an initiator. A translator may translate the request received from the initiator into a command for a multi-mode single port device. A bridge may communicate with the multi-mode single port device and the initiator, sending the command to the multi-mode single port device and receiving a reply from the multi-mode single port device. The translator may then translate the reply to the command into a response for the initiator, whereupon a transmitter may transmit the response to the initiator.
