Abstract: A method for verifying an input/output (I/O) hardware configuration is provided. A verification command is processed. The verification command includes a software device address range associated with a logical control unit (LCU) of the I/O hardware. The LCU utilizes a first logical path. The software device address range utilizing the first logical path is compared with an existing software device address range utilizing at least one additional logical path. The verification command is accepted if the software device address range and the existing software device address range match.

Abstract: Automated estimation that a hardware or software change is correlated with one or more problem events. In addition to identifying that a change has occurred, one or more problem events are identified that have occurred after the change. Problem events are then correlated with the change using a distance measure between the change and the at least one correlated problem event. For most, if not all, of the distance measure, the greater the distance measure, the less the change is correlated with each correlated problem event. The distance measure may be a time interval, an activity-weighted interval, or any other type of distance measure.

Abstract: A method and system for analyzing resource needs for a configurable computing system representing the configuration in a tree structure. The tree structure has a plurality of nodes representing stored data. A first set of the nodes comprises childless nodes and a second set of the nodes comprises parent nodes. Each parent node has at least one child node. The method for analyzing comprises the steps of: (a) determining the worst case resource needs of the childless nodes during an execution cycle by evaluating the worst case values of any selected attributes that the childless node may have; (b) determining the worst case resource needs of the parent nodes during an execution cycle; and, (c) recursively applying the rules used for evaluating the worst case resource needs of the individual nodes, above, starting with a root node of the plurality of nodes, to determine the worst case resource needs of the entire tree structure.

Abstract: To facilitate evaluation, testing and/or configuration of an electronic device, one or more interactive setting diagrams are provided in the form of a block diagram for showing inter-relationships of functional blocks of the device, and/or a diagram for showing signal processing functions of the device. In the case of an audio IC for example, respective block diagrams may be provided for audio routing, for clocking, for general purpose I/IO, and so on. Likewise, signal processing may be represented by diagrams for configuring filters and ALC. The diagrams are displayed on a display of a computer, having an input device which the user operates to change settings of the device. The user can interact directly with the interactive setting diagram by manipulating graphical controls incorporated into the diagram. Thus, for example, an audio path can be set by clicking on a signal line shown in the diagram, or filter settings modified by moving sliders displayed alongside a filter characteristic graph. Settings made in this way can be recorded for future re-use and/or reflected immediately in a register map of the device which may be connected to the computer via an evaluation board and interface.
