INTERCONNECT LINK WITH A RESILIENT LINK MODE BASED ON A LINK STATUS REGISTER
20260030123 · 2026-01-29 ·

An integrated circuit (IC) device includes a plurality of chiplets including a first device and a second device. A die-to-die (D2D) interconnect link connects between the first device and the second device. A link training and status state machine (LTSSM) of the IC device is configured to operate the degraded D2D interconnect link in a resilient link mode to provide a plurality of enabled lanes and a plurality of disabled lanes. The LTSSM detects a faulty lane among the plurality of enabled lanes, and replaces the faulty lane using a functional lane from the plurality of disabled lanes to maintain the degraded D2D interconnect link.

20260056852 · 2026-02-26 ·

The present application discloses a method, system, and computer system for adding a redundant network path for an NFS root on a diskless system. The method includes: (a) generating, by a system initialization script, a RAM disk, wherein the system initialization script is executed after an operating system switches a root mount point to an NFS filesystem and initialization is performed, (b) copying a binary to the RAM disk, (c) launching the binary as a user-space program, and (d) executing, by the user-space program, a command from an already-running NFS-backed user-space program to move the NFS on a redundant Ethernet path after the redundant Ethernet path has been initialized.

Electronic apparatus and control method thererof for handling a CEC malfunction

An electronic apparatus includes a display; an input interface including a first high-speed multimedia interface (HDMI) port configured to connect to a first source device, and a second HDMI port configured to connect to a second source device; and at least one processor operatively connected with the display and the input interface, wherein a first switching device is provided in a first consumer electronic control (CEC) line corresponding to the first HDMI port, and a second switching device is provided in a second CEC line corresponding to the second HDMI port, and wherein the at least one processor is configured to: control, based on a malfunction associated with a CEC function being identified from the first source device or the second source device, the display to display a user interface (UI) for turning off the CEC function, and turn off the CEC function by separately controlling at least one of the first switching device or the second switching device based on a user command received through the UI.

Dynamically reconfigured redundant lanes in a communication interface circuit between chiplets to increase redundancy when the probability of failure favors a particular communication direction

An integrated circuit (IC) package including a first chiplet, a second chiplet, and a communication interface circuit coupling the first and second chiplets is disclosed. The communication interface circuit comprises main lanes wherein a first portion of which communicates information from the first chiplet to the second chiplet (i.e., first direction) and wherein a second portion of which communicates information from the second chiplet to the first chiplet (i.e., second direction). The communication interface circuit also comprises a plurality of redundant lanes wherein each of the redundant lanes are dynamically configurable to communicate in one of a first and a second direction.

LANE FAILURE REPAIR IN A COMMUNICATION INTERCONNECT
20260140834 · 2026-05-21 ·

A device includes a multiple communication lanes including a first portion of lanes and a second portion of lanes, and control logic coupled to the communication lanes. The control logic is to receive an indication that a first lane of the first portion of lanes is damaged, determine a first index of the first lane of the first portion of lanes, determine a second index of a second lane of the second portion of lanes responsive to the indication that the first lane of the first portion of lanes is damaged, convert a first lane mapping of the plurality of communication lanes to a second lane mapping of the communication lanes based on the first index and the second index, and cause first communication data to be transmitted via the communication lanes based on the second lane mapping.
