Abstract
A system, method, and computer readable medium are disclosed. In one embodiment the system includes a remote computer system. The remote computer system has a remote host embedded controller interface (HECI) driver and a HECI simulator. The HECI simulator intercepts commands directed to the HECI driver from software running on the remote computer system and routes the commands as HECI messages to a local computer system also included in the system. The local computer system includes a HECI bridge that is capable of receiving the HECI messages sent from the remote computer system and then can pass the received HECI messages to a local HECI driver to be operated upon.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a remote computer system including:
- a remote host embedded controller interface (HECI) driver;
- and
- a HECI simulator to:
- intercept commands directed to the HECI driver from software running on the remote computer system;
- and
- route the commands as HECI messages to a local computer system;
- and
- the local computer system including a HECI bridge, the bridge to
- receive the HECI messages sent from the remote computer system;
- and
- pass the received HECI messages to a local HECI driver to be operated upon.
A method, comprising:
- intercepting commands directed to a remote host embedded controller interface (HECI) driver originating from software running on the remote computer system;
- routing the commands as HECI messages to a local computer system;
- receiving the HECI messages sent from the remote computer system;
- and
- passing the received HECI messages to a local HECI driver, running on the local computer system, to be operated upon.
A computer readable medium, having embodied thereon instructions, which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform a method, comprising:
- intercepting commands directed to a remote host embedded controller interface (HECI) driver originating from software running on the remote computer system;
- routing the commands as HECI messages to a local computer system;
- receiving the HECI messages sent from the remote computer system;
- and
- passing the received HECI messages to a local HECI driver, running on the local computer system, to be operated upon.
