Reset device and display device

The disclosure provides a reset device and a display device. The reset device comprises a processor, a reset circuit and a button. The reset circuit electrically connects to the processor and the button. When the button is not pressed, the processor acquires a first level signal from the reset circuit; when the button is pressed, if the processor cannot recognize the second level signal while acquiring the second level signal from the reset circuit, the display device is restarted; and during or after restart operation for the display device, if the reset circuit detects that the first level signal and the second level signal which are output by the reset circuit before and after the button is pressed are different, software fault recovery operation is performed on the display device.

11507175 · 2022-11-22 · ·

A computing system has a first processing device (e.g., CPU, FPGA, or GPU) and memory regions (e.g., in a DRAM device) used by the processing device during normal operation. In one approach, the computing system is configured to: collect data associated with operation of an autonomous vehicle; monitor, by a first processing device, the collected data; and based on the monitoring, determine that an event on the autonomous vehicle has occurred. The computing system is further configured to, in response to determining that the event has occurred, initiate a transfer of data controlled by a second processing device, the transfer including copying data stored in volatile memory of the autonomous vehicle to non-volatile memory of the autonomous vehicle, wherein the second processing device controls copying of the data independently of the first processing device. The computing system is also further configured to, in response to determining that the event has occurred, reduce or terminate power to the first processing device.

Preserving data integrity during controller failures

Systems and processes are disclosed to preserve data integrity during a storage controller failure. In some examples, a storage controller of an active-active controller configuration can back-up data and corresponding cache elements to allow a surviving controller to construct a correct state of a failed controller's write cache. To accomplish this, the systems and processes can implement a relative time stamp for the cache elements that allow the backed-up data to be merged on a block-by-block basis.

Platform framework error handling

Embodiments of systems and methods for platform framework error handling are described. A platform framework may receive registration requests from framework participants that provide operation of a plurality of hardware devices of an IHS (Information Handling System). The framework registration requests by participants specify remediation policies for addressing error conditions related to respective participants. The received remediation policies are mapped to the registered participants, where remediation policies may include handles for invoking remediation procedures for a registered participant. Error conditions are detected during operation of the platform framework. The registered participant is identified as a source of the error condition and a remediation policy that is mapped to the registered participant is identified. Handles in the remediation policy are used to invoke remediation procedures for the registered participant. Remediation procedures invoked by the handles may be provided by a remediation agent that provides support for registered participants.
