    摘要: A method, system, and device for using an interface controller to validate and authenticate controller code for a commodity device to be included within a computer system (e.g., a power supply) are provided. In one example, a commodity device controller includes dynamic memory for control software (e.g., control code to control operation of the commodity device) that may be validated (and/or updated) using an interface controller. The interface controller may perform this update/validation at startup (or run-time) to ensure secure control over aspects of the computer device including the commodity device control code. If a security risk is detected it may be mitigated in various ways, including disabling of the commodity device. Control code provided by third-parties (e,g., supplier of commodity device) may be validated and secured using disclosed techniques.

    摘要: Various examples provide systems and methods in which a capacitor is charged by an active first power factor correction module and a voltage across the capacitor is determined while the second power factor correction module is exclusively active. A health state of the second power factor correction module may be determined based on the determined voltage across the capacitor.

    摘要: Example implementations relate to determining computing device information. In some examples, a controller may comprise a processing resource and a memory resource storing machine-readable instructions to receive a waveform corresponding to an input current that includes a non-cyclical irregular waveform modification from a power supply of a computing device, analyze the modified waveform of the input current to determine a binary message included in the modified waveform, and determine, based on the binary message, information about the computing device.
