A sensor configuration method, an apparatus, computer equipment and a storage medium are disclosed. The method includes acquiring connection configuration information generated based on user input, querying for a target sensor driver matched with a target sensor represented by the sensor identifier in a device driver set, calling a target communication port driver matched with the target communication port represented by the communication port identifier and establishing communications with the target sensor by the target sensor driver and the target communication port driver. The connection configuration information includes a sensor identifier and a communication port identifier. The device driver set is pre-stored with a number of sensor drivers corresponding to a number of sensors.

An embodiment is directed to switchover operations with a mobile virtualized network device in a mobile device. The mobile virtualized hardware switchover operations may be used to selectively and temporarily provide virtualized control-plane operations to the data-plane of a non-redundant network device undergoing an upgrade or a reboot of its control plane. A non-redundant network device may operate hitless, or near hitless, operation even when its control plane is unavailable.

Systems and methods for chip operation using serial peripheral interface (SPI) with reduced pin options contemplate eliminating the chip select pins, interrupt pins and/or reset pins for host (also referred to as master)-to-device (also referred to as slave) communication links, while preserving the possibility of backward compatibility for legacy devices if desired. The communication link may include a clock line, a host-to-device line, and a device-to-host line. The host may use specific sequences of signals on the clock and host-to-device line to provide start and stop sequence commands, interrupts, or reset commands. By consolidating these commands onto the clock and host-to-device line, pin count may be reduced for portions of the host and slave circuits. Likewise, fewer (or at least shorter potentially) conductive traces may be needed to interconnect the host to the device. Such changes may save cost, make layout design easier, and/or save space within a computing device.

A method for configuring slave devices in a communication system including a master device and slave devices, wherein the master device and the slave devices are connected in chain via a commission line and in parallel via a field bus line, and wherein each slave device is indexed by an index greater than or equal to 1, the slave device of index 1 being connected to the master device. To enroll the slave device of index k, k being equal to or greater than 1, the master device is able to: send, in broadcast via the field bus line, an address configuration frame containing instructions for address configuration with a defined address of index k for the slave device of index k; send, in broadcast via the field bus line, a request for device information, the request containing the defined address; send, in broadcast via the field bus line after having received a reply containing device information and the defined address, a command for sending a commissioning signal via the commission line to the slave device of index k+1, the command containing the defined address; and store the received device information in an information table, the device information containing an identifier of the slave device of index k and a type of the slave device of index k, wherein the slave devices have a common default address before being enrolled and only a slave device of index k, which has the common default address and detects a commissioning signal on the commission line, accepts the address configuration frame to change the common default address of the slave device of index k to the defined address.

A universally-designed control circuit for communicating with multiple types of sensors is disclosed. For example, a control circuit may communicate with either ring oscillator-based sensors or BJT-based sensors based on programming implemented in the control circuit. The control circuit may include programmable communication protocol circuits for communicating with the sensors and conversion circuits that convert a particular type of sensor data packet into a generic format. The generic format sensor data may then be utilized by a power management unit or other device to control operation of an integrated circuit.

A method for data processing of an interconnection protocol, a controller and a storage device, the method comprising in processing of frame sending by a first device to a second device: allocating a plurality of start-of-frame (SOF)-included protocol data units (PDUs) to a designated lane among a plurality of active lanes of the first device; and configuring a PDU distance among the plurality of start-of-frame (SOF)-included protocol data units to be greater than or equal to a product of a maximum bus width of a lane of the interconnection protocol and a quantity of the plurality of active lanes. Accordingly, the method can help greatly reduce the complexity of the hardware protocol engine implemented under the interconnection protocol, especially the complexity of the decoder in the data link layer receiver, thus reducing the difficulty of research and development, verification and maintenance.

Systems and methods for managing workspaces across multiple clients are described. In some embodiments, a Workspace Managing Device (WMD) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the WMD to: receive a request from a client Information Handling System (IHS) to access a peripheral device coupled to the WMD; identify a workspace management policy applicable to at least one of: the request, the peripheral device, the client IHS, or a user of the client IHS; and manage access to the peripheral device by the client IHS based upon the workspace management policy.

This disclosure relates to the technical field of automobiles and software and discloses an interface circuit and a method and apparatus for interface communication thereof. In the interface circuit, a micro-control unit has an output interface connected to a first conversion unit connected to a USB HOST interface and a USB SLAVE interface and a second conversion unit connected to an HDMI interface, and is configured to control the first conversion unit to be set in a HOST mode to communicate with the USB HOST interface when receiving a trigger signal from the USB HOST interface, the first conversion unit to be set in an SLAVE mode to communicate with the USB SLAVE interface when receiving a trigger signal from the USB SLAVE interface, and the second conversion unit to output the TMDS signal to communicate with the HDMI interface when receiving a trigger signal from the HDMI interface.

The present invention relates to methods for enabling use of a pluggable module in a host system, regardless of the type of pluggable module used in view of the module ports of the host system, which is realized using an adaptation device. The disclosure also relates to corresponding devices; adaptation devices and host systems. The methods comprise inserting a pluggable module in a module port of a host system, obtaining information indicating an electrical interface of pluggable module and setting a mode of operation of the adaptation device for re-routing and adapting signals to/from the pluggable module towards one or more controlling entities of the host system based on the electrical interface of the pluggable module.

A memory manager disposed between a memory and a processor. One end of the memory manager is coupled to the processor using a serial line, and the other end of the memory manager is coupled to the memory using a parallel line to provide the processor with a serial interface instead of a parallel interface.
