    Abstract: An interruption control system includes a first input/output interruption controller, a second input/output interruption controller, and an interruption control device bus. The first input/output interruption controller is coupled to a first peripheral device and a south bridge chip, and asserts a wake-up signal to the south bridge chip in response to a first interrupt signal issued by the first peripheral device so as to deactivate a power-saving state of the computer system. The second input/output interruption controller is coupled to a second peripheral device and a north bridge chip, and asserts a third interrupt signal in response to a second interrupt signal issued by the second peripheral device. Via the interruption control device bus, the third interrupt signal is transmitted from the second input/output interruption controller to the first input/output interruption controller, wherein the first input/output interruption controller asserts the wake-up signal to deactivate the power-saving state of the computer system in response to the third interrupt signal.

    Abstract: A method for accessing a memory of a computer system for BIOS codes optionally performs a detection procedure to realize a maximum memory burst read size of the memory according to a flag value upon the computer system is initialized. For example, the detection procedure is performed when the flag value is logic “1” and the detection procedure is not performed when the flag value is logic “0”. When the detection procedure is performed, read requests with sequentially reduced memory burst read sizes are asserted to the memory one by one until the maximum memory burst read size of the memory is realized. Then, the BIOS codes are read from the memory with the maximum memory burst read size.

    Abstract: A debugging device and method are provided, including a central processing unit (CPU) connected to a chipset with a system management interrupt pin. The debugging method includes sending out a system management interrupt signal to central processing unit from the system management interrupt pin of the chipset. Then the CPU moves into a system management mode and pops out a debugging operation window for selecting and executing each debugging item. After the execution of each debugging item is completed, the CPU will leave the debugging operation window and return to the next instruction before debugging. After the execution of each debugging item is completed in the debugging operation window, the CPU will return to the operation system and continue the execution of next instruction before debugging. The execution of debugging will not influence the status and the program execution from the operating system. The disclosed debugging method is convenient for executing each debugging item at any time.

    Abstract: A computer system for processing data in a non-operational state and processing method thereof are provided. The computer system includes a data output unit, a data source, a data processing module and a state monitor unit. The data processing module accesses and processes data from the data source, and transmits the processed data to the data output unit. The state monitor unit monitors a power supply state of the computer system to generate a state switch signal, which indicates whether the computer system is in an operational state or a non-operational state. When the state switch signal indicates that the computer system is in a non-operational state, the data source and the data processing module receives operating voltages to access and process data.

    Abstract: A hard drive assessing method and a hard drive assessing system supporting a maximum transmission rate of a hard drive are provided, wherein the hard drive is accessed by a controller, and both the controller and the hard drive support a plurality of transmission rates. The maximum transmission rate of the hard drive is first obtained. When the controller reads data from the hard drive, the transmission rate of the controller is set to be not lower than the maximum transmission rate, and the transmission rate of the hard drive is maintained at the maximum transmission rate. When the controller writes data into the hard drive, the transmission rate of the controller is reduced to be lower than the maximum transmission rate, and the transmission rate of the hard drive is maintained at the maximum transmission rate. Thereby, the hard drive can be accessed at its maximum transmission rate.
