| 20080307154 | System and Method for Dual-Ported I2C Flash Memory - A method for emulating a dual-port I2C device includes monitoring a bus for I2C traffic. A system receives an I2C interrupt on the bus. The system determines whether the received I2C interrupt is one of either a hardware interrupt or a software interrupt. In the event the received I2C interrupt is a hardware interrupt, the system responds to the hardware interrupt, and accesses a flash memory for read/write operation based on the hardware interrupt. In the event the received I2C interrupt is a software interrupt, the system responds to the software interrupt, and accesses a flash memory for read/write operation based on the software interrupt. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090007118 | Native Virtualization on a Partially Trusted Adapter Using PCI Host Bus, Device, and Function Number for Identification - A mechanism that allows a single physical I/O adapter, such as a PCI, PCI-X, or PCI-E adapter, to perform I/O transactions using the PCI host bus, device, and function numbers to validate that an I/O transaction originated from the proper host is provided. Additionally, a method for facilitating identification of a transaction source partition is provided. An input/output transaction that is directed to a physical adapter is originated from a system image of a plurality of system images. The host data processing system adds an identifier of the system image to the input/output transaction. The input/output transaction is then conveyed to the physical adapter for processing of the input/output transaction. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090089611 | METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR COORDINATING ERROR REPORTING AND RESET UTILIZING AN I/O ADAPTER THAT SUPPORTS VIRTUALIZATION - A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed in a shared processor data processing system for coordinating error reporting for and resetting of a physical I/O adapter that supports virtualization. The physical I/O adapter is virtualized by generating virtual I/O adapters that each represent a portion of the physical I/O adapter. Each one of the virtual I/O adapters is assigned to a different one of client logical partitions. A determination is made regarding whether the physical I/O adapter may have experienced an error. If the physical I/O adapter has experienced an error, all of the client logical partitions are notified about the error and a recovery of the physical I/O adapter is coordinated among all of the client logical partitions by waiting for each client logical partition to acknowledge the error notification before the physical I/O adapter is reset. | 04-02-2009 |
