摘要： An interprocessor interrupt hardware unit ("IIU") for processing interrupts between a remote processor and a host processor on a multiprocessor system. The IIU off loads tasks involved in processing interrupts from the operating kernel of the remote processor. Control blocks of interrupt information and commands are stored in Data Random Access Memory (DRAM) by the remote processor. The remote processor sets up a buffer of control block memory addresses in DRAM for the IIU to access to retrieve the control blocks from DRAM. The IIU retrieves a control block and loads the control block into registers. The IIU then issues an interrupt request to the host processor. The host processor receives the interrupt request and reads the registers to obtain the control block. The host processor clears the interrupt request and indicates to the IIU that the interrupt has been processed. The IIU then notifies the remote processor that the interrupt has been processed. The IIU may be programmed to notify the remote processor of completion either by an interrupt or by setting a status flag in the DRAM.

摘要： There is provided a Direct Access Memory Unit (DAu) that is associated with a remote processor module in a multi-processing system. The DAU performs Direct Memory Access (DMA) operations independently of a Central Processing Unit (CPU) in the remote processor module. The CPU requests a DMA by writing information relevant to the DMA to the remote processor's memory. The address of each control block is written to a circular queue, also in the remote processor's memory. The DAU determines if there are any control blocks to process and if so, the DAU will perform the DMA operation (reading data from or writing data to the memory of the host processor), all without the intervention of the CPU of the remote processor module. The CPU adds a new control block by loading its address in a location in the circular queue that is ahead of the circular queue location that the DAU is processing. The CPU can abort a pending DMA request during DAU operations by setting a skip bit in the control block. Upon the completion of performing a DMA request, the DAU will set a complete bit in the control block in the remote processor's memory. An interrupt can also be sent to the CPU, wherein the CPU is advised that a DMA request has been completed. The data in a DMA operation is sent in bursts to a buffer located between two busses having different data transmission rates.

摘要： A method and system in a data communications system for automatically determining a data communication device type and a transmission speed associated with the data communication device type. An incoming communication is detected on a transmission line, and transmit and receive hardware are connected to the transmission line. Next, a sequence of different signals in either a first communication protocol or a second communication protocol are transmitted from a first data communication device via a transmission line. The transmission line is then monitored for a response signal from a second data communication device. The response signal is initiated from the second data communication device in response to receipt of a particular signal within the transmitted sequence of different signals. Utilizing the relationship between the response signal and the transmitted sequence of different signals, a data communication device type and transmission speed are determined, and data communications may then be established between the first data communication device and the second data communication device at an optimal transmission speed.

摘要： A multi-mode time division multiplexing (TDM) interface circuit for interfacing between a serial data port and a data buffer is provided. The TDM interface circuit contains a transmitter and a receiver section. The circuit is programmable to operate in a variety of modes and is capable of supporting various multi-channel TDM interfaces as well as single channel analog interfaces. The circuit is programmable by writing a control word to a control register. In operation the circuit receives a frame synchronization signal, a gated bit clock signal, and a bit clock signal from the circuit with which it is interfacing on the serial data port. A base address input to a base address register provides up to 9 of the most significant bits of a data buffer address. A 12-bit counter is used to generate the remaining (least significant) bits of the data buffer address according to the control word in the control register.

摘要： A system and method for efficient operation of a digital signal processor allows execution of a noncoherent FSK demodulation process at the baud rate of the incoming signal. First and second signal detecting channels terminate at a summing junction. A signal sampler for applying a sampled signal to the first and second signal detecting channels. The first and second signal detecting channels each include, in series, a finite impulse response filter for filtering out energy outside a selected bandwidth, automatic gain control and a demodulator. The finite impulse response filter means for the second signal detecting channel further shifts the phase of the sampled signal in the second signal detecting channel approximately 90 degrees relative to the sampled signal in the first signal detecting channel. The demodulator in each signal detecting channel further includes first and second sampled signal transmission paths terminating in a multiplying junction. The first signal transmission path in each demodulator includes a tunable delay line. The decoder takes its input from the summing junction for reproducing a signal indicating presence of a particular frequency or reproduction of the baseband signal.
