Disclosed is a universal profiling device operable to simulate a performance monitoring unit for a heterogeneous system. The universal profiling device includes a main circuit and a storage circuit. The main circuit is configured to execute at least one of multiple steps including an active data collection step and a passive data collection step. The active data collection step registers a callback function for an event of a designated object according to predetermined setting or user setting, and actively calls the callback function to obtain information of the event. The passive data collection step registers the event of the designated object according to the predetermined setting or user setting and thereby receives the information of the event without requesting the designated object, wherein the information of the event is stored in the storage circuit.

Universal profiling device and method for simulating performance monitoring unit

A non-volatile memory includes a first block and a second block. The first block is used to store first firmware. The second block is used to store second firmware. A method of controlling the non-volatile memory includes comparing a version of the first firmware and a version of the second firmware, if a comparison result between the version of the first firmware and the version of the second firmware indicates that the second firmware is newer than the first firmware, employing the second firmware to perform a boot process, and if the boot process is successful, upgrading a portion of a firmware image to the first block whenever there is a firmware upgrade request after the boot process.

Embedded system and method of controlling non-volatile memory to perform firmware update

A data management circuit with network functions and a network-based data management method are provided. The network-based data management method is employed to manage a storage device coupled to a computer that includes a processor. The method includes steps of: receiving a network packet through a network; sending the network packet to the processor or accessing the storage device, according to a network header of the network packet; and requesting the processor to access the storage device according to a remaining capacity of the storage device and/or a content of the network packet.
