    摘要: A method and system for allowing flexible control of access to a shared memory by multiple requesters. In a preferred embodiment, the invention arbitrates access to flash memory on a HBA between multiple host channels and HBA microprocessors, and eliminates contention possibilities for the flash during write cycles by the allowing a grant to be locked for a period defined by the flash write protocol and timing.

    摘要: A method and system for allowing a host device (e.g., server) to perform programmed direct accesses to peripheral memory (e.g., flash) located on a peripheral device (e.g., HBA), without the assistance of a microprocessor located on the peripheral device. In a preferred embodiment, new host registers are implemented within controller circuitry of the peripheral device, the host registers being configured to be recognized by host software executed by host. The host device reads and writes to the host registers, which causes appropriate controller hardware to access the peripheral nonvolatile memory accordingly. By creating and implementing the new host registers, an enhanced controller is created that allows a host device to directly access peripheral memory, without peripheral processor assistance.

    摘要: Systems and techniques to track deferred data transfers on a system-interconnect bus. A deferral response initiates storage of information corresponding to the response and tracking of progress for a requested data transfer. A master device, such as a bus adapter, may include a split-transaction repository, timers, and a split-transaction monitor. The master device may include both hardware and firmware components, and may be designed to handle split responses as defined by a Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended standard.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is disclosed for improving the MSI and MSI-X specifications by implementing an efficient delivery and clearing mechanism for interrupt conditions to increase performance between the driver and hardware/firmware interface while ensuring that no interrupts are lost in the process. In particular, an auto clear function is employed to eliminate the need for drivers in the host to send writes over the PCI-based bus to deassert and assert attention enable register bits and clear down attention register bits, and a fail safe mechanism is utilized to prevent lost interrupts.

    摘要: A phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit includes multiple selectable feedback paths and a mode selector for selecting different feedback paths in different operating modes. The PLL circuit may correct for clock skew or produce a desired degree of clock skew between input and output clock signals in different operating modes.
