Abstract
A device access control system includes a computing system having a device access controller subsystem coupled to devices and a central processing subsystem. A device access control manager subsystem is coupled to the device access controller subsystem and operates, during initialization operations for the computing system, to identify application(s) that are configured to be provided by the central processing subsystem, and identify a first subset of the devices that satisfy application provisioning requirements for the application(s). The device access control management subsystem then configures the device access controller subsystem to provide the central processing subsystem access to the first subset of the devices in order to allow the central processing subsystem to provide the application(s), and disable access for the central processing subsystem to a second subset of the devices in order to prevent the central processing subsystem from using the second subset of the devices to provide the application(s).
