    摘要: The present subject matter discloses methods and systems of sharing of peripheral devices in multi host computing systems (100). In one implementation, the method of sharing a peripheral device (116) amongst a plurality of hosts of the multi-host computing system (100) comprises receiving a request to switch the peripheral device (116) from a first operating system running on a first host from amongst the plurality of hosts to a second operating system running on a second host from amongst the plurality of hosts; generating a request for the first operating system to relinquish control of the peripheral device (116); determining the status of the relinquishment based on response generated by the first operating system; initiating a request for the second operating system to install a device driver for the peripheral device (116) upon determining successful relinquishment; and transferring ownership of the peripheral device (116) to the second operating system.

    摘要: Described herein are methods and systems for virtualization of a USB device to enable sharing of the USB device among a plurality of host processors in a multi-processor computing system. A USB virtualization unit for sharing of the USB device include a per-host register unit, each corresponding to a host processor includes one or more of a host register interface, host data interface, configuration registers, and host control registers, configured to receive simultaneous requests from one or more host processors from amongst the plurality of host processors for the USB device. The USB virtualization unit also includes a pre-fetch direct memory access (DMA) configured to pre-fetch DMA descriptors associated with the requests to store in a buffer. The USB virtualization unit further includes an endpoint specific switching decision logic (ESL) configured to schedule data access based on the DMA descriptors from the host processor's local memory corresponding to each request.

    摘要: Described herein is a system having a multi-host low pin count (LPC) controller (100) configured to facilitate sharing of common peripheral devices by multiple hosts (115) of a multi-host computing system (110). In one implementation, the multi-host LPC controller (100) interfaces with the hosts (115) via an ON-chip bus or an LPC-IN-chip bus. Further, the multi-host LPC controller (100) includes a LPC-IN controller (160) and a microcontroller (155) to moderate among requests generated by the hosts (115). The requests can be target accesses, DMA accesses, and BM accesses. Also, the multi-host LPC controller (100) is configured to operate in a software mode and an auto mode. Based on the mode the multi-host LPC controller (100) is operating in, the requests generated by the various hosts are moderated.
