The present disclosure provides a system and method for dynamically defining a specific input pin of a management controller (e.g., a baseboard management controller (BMC)) of a server system in response to a new device being plugged into the server system. The new device comprises one of a power supply unit (PSU), an automatic transfer switch (ATS), or a battery backup unit (BBU) of the server system. In some implementations, the PSU, the ATS, and the BBU are modularized into a plurality of ATS modules, a plurality of PSU modules, and a plurality of BBU modules, respectively. Each of the plurality of ATS modules, the plurality of PSU modules, and the plurality of BBU modules has substantially the same physical size.

A microcontroller having a memory programmable in user mode. The microcontroller contains circuitry for detecting whether a programming level voltage has been activated. Also included is a Longwrite enable register containing an enable bit for enabling/disabling programming of the memory. When the register contains the bit indicating programming as enabled, and the programming level voltage is detected, the microcontroller allows the program memory to be programmed. The programming can take place in user mode. The programming level voltage signal is also used to detect whether to enter into a test mode. Programming of the program memory is also possible in the test mode. The invention is also directed to a method for operating a microcontroller for controlling programming of the program memory. The microcontroller according to the invention allows increased functionality by detecting whether to enter the test mode without the requirement of a test mode select input signal.
摘要:
A processing system (10a) is described. The processing system comprises a microprocessor, a reset circuit (116a), a non-volatile memory having stored configuration data, a plurality of configuration data clients (112) and a hardware configuration circuit configured to read the configuration data from the non-volatile memory and transmit the configuration data to the configuration data clients (112). In response to switching on the processing system (10a), the processing system (10a) executes a reset phase (DR), a configuration phase (CP1) and a software runtime phase (SW). In particular, the processing system (10a) comprises a first reset terminal (RPa) having associated a first circuitry (30a, 32a) and a second reset terminal (RPb) having associated a first circuitry (30a, 32a), wherein the first circuitry (30a, 32a) and the second circuitry (30b, 32b) have associated at least one configuration data client (112a, 112b), and wherein the configuration data comprise first mode configuration data (MCDa) for the first terminal (RPa) and second mode configuration data (MCDb) for the second terminal (RPb). During the reset phase (DR) and the configuration phase (CP1) the first circuitry (30a, 32a) activates a strong pull-down resistance, and the second circuitry (30b, 32b) activate a weak pull-down resistance. Conversely, once the configuration phase is completed, and in particular during the software runtime phase (SW), the first circuitry (30a, 32a) may activate a weak pull-down resistance, e.g., for implementing a bi-direction reset terminal, or a weak pull-up resistance, e.g., for implementing a reset output terminal. Conversely, the second circuitry (30b, 32b) may activate a weak or strong pull-up resistance, e.g., for implementing a reset output terminal, or maintain activated the weak pull-down resistance, e.g., for implementing a reset input terminal.
