In one embodiment, an apparatus includes: a plurality of cores to execute instructions; a firmware agent to execute a first firmware; a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interface to communicate with a device via a PCIe link; and a boot agent coupled to the PCIe interface to download the PCIe firmware from a non-volatile memory and provide the PCIe firmware to the PCIe interface. The PCIe interface may receive a PCIe firmware for the PCIe interface before the firmware agent is to receive the first firmware. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

In embodiments, a system may comprise a circuit component to perform a function; and a supervisor component (e.g., a safety component) coupled to the circuit component to monitor proper functioning of the circuit component. The circuit component may be configured to initiate provision of diagnostic information to the supervisor component, or to indicate to the safety component whether the circuit component will be responsive to a query from the safety component for diagnostic information.

Electronic component monitoring method and apparatus

Provided are a method, system, and program for constructing a packet. A request to construct one packet is received, including information on at least one header and a payload to include in the packet. The at least one header for the received request is generated and the generated at least one header is written in a first queue. The payload is requested to include in the packet and the received payload is written to a second queue. The generated at least one header and payload are read from the first and second queues and the read at least one header and payload are included in the packet.
