    • In accordance with the method and system of the present invention, a local processor utilizes registers arranged in a fault/mask/cache fashion for environmental control and sensing within a data processing system. The local processor continuously reads input data from a variety of environmental sensors in order to determine if a threshold level has been reached and a fault condition exists. Cache registers allow the local processor to store/pass detailed sensor information to system firmware within system processor(s). The local processor sets a fault bit within a fault register designed to cause an interrupt to the system level firmware if any of its bits are non-zero, indicating that a fault condition has occurred. A mask register is designed to allow the interaction of both the local processor and system processor(s) when an interrupt is being serviced and help keeps track of which interrupts are being serviced and which are yet to be serviced in the case of multiple interrupt sources. The system firmware will service the interrupt and set the mask bit. The action will signal the local processor that the system has acknowledged the interrupt and will take the appropriate action. The local processor may now post another fault, exactly like the first fault, by clearing the mask bit and causing a subsequent interrupt to the system. The fault, mask, cache, and both local and system processor(s) work together to provide a positive interlock for synchronizing their actions with each other.
    • 根据本发明的方法和系统,本地处理器利用以故障/掩码/高速缓存方式排列的用于数据处理系统内的环境控制和感测的寄存器。 本地处理器连续读取来自各种环境传感器的输入数据,以确定是否达到阈值水平并且存在故障状况。 缓存寄存器允许本地处理器将详细的传感器信息存储/传递到系统处理器内的系统固件。 本地处理器在故障寄存器内设置一个故障位,用于在系统级固件中的任一位非零时引起中断,表示发生了故障状态。 掩码寄存器被设计为允许本地处理器和系统处理器在中断被服务时的交互,并帮助记录在多个中断源的情况下跟踪哪些中断被服务以及哪些中断服务 。 系统固件将为中断服务并设置掩码位。 该操作将通知本地处理器系统已经确认中断,并采取适当的措施。 本地处理器现在可以通过清除掩码位并导致系统的后续中断来发布完全像第一个故障的另一个故障。 故障,掩码,缓存以及本地和系统处理器一起工作,为彼此的动作同步提供了一个积极的互锁。

    • A method and apparatus are disclosed for generating multiple separate analog signals using a single microcontroller output pin. The microcontroller generates a waveform that is used to concurrently generate multiple separate analog signals. The microcontroller outputs a waveform that includes a first signal from one of the microcontroller's output pins. The first signal is used to produce a first analog signal. The microcontroller then outputs a delineating signal, as part of the waveform, from the microcontroller's output pin. The delineating signal indicates the start of a next signal in the waveform. The microcontroller then outputs a second signal, as part of the waveform, from its output pin. The second signal is used to produce a second analog signal. The waveform includes the first signal that is followed by the delineating signal that is followed by the second signal.
