Abstract
A method includes programming first and second values and a first compare enable command into respective first operand, second operand, and first compare enable command registers in a hardware comparator circuit. The method includes determining that a first match exists corresponding to the first and second values, programming a third value into the first operand register and a fourth value into the second operand register, and programming a second compare enable command into a second compare enable command register in the hardware comparator circuit. In response to a determination that a second match exists corresponding to the third and fourth values, the method includes asserting a success interrupt signal, programming a fifth value into the first operand register and a sixth value into the second operand register and programming a second compare enable command into a second compare enable command register in the hardware comparator circuit.
