Latest Patents
Yen-Hsiung Kao holds a patent for a "Circuit and method for configuring a bus bridge using parameters from a." This invention provides a method for initializing configuration registers in a bus bridge controller. It allows peripheral devices to acquire functionality prior to initialization by a normal system Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) routine. The initialization information is stored in a supplemental configuration Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM), separate from a conventional system BIOS ROM. The flexible format of the register configuration information ensures that only certain devices are pre-configured or initialized in a specific order. This invention is particularly useful in personal computing systems that include a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus, an ISA bus, and a system management bus (SMB) for accessing the EEPROM.
