Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for verifying fingerprints associated with components to be installed on printed circuit boards (PCBs). In at least one embodiment, one or more processors determine whether a component fingerprint associated with a component to be installed on the PCB corresponds to an expected fingerprint, the component fingerprint based, at least in part, on a firmware version associated with the component.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- one or more processors to determine whether a component firmware fingerprint associated with a component to be installed on a printed circuit board (PCB) corresponds to an expected firmware fingerprint, the component firmware fingerprint based, at least in part, on fingerprint points in a portion of a firmware image of a firmware version associated with the component.
A system, comprising:
- one or more assembly devices to select a component to be installed and to verify a component firmware fingerprint based, at least in part, on one or more sparse fingerprint check points associated with a portion of a firmware image of a firmware version of the component.
A method, comprising:
- determining a component firmware fingerprint associated with a component to be installed on a printed circuit board (PCB) corresponds to an expected firmware fingerprint, the component firmware fingerprint based, at least in part, on fingerprint points in a portion of a firmware image of a firmware version associated with the component.
