Abstract
Disclosed are methods and devices, among which is a method for configuring an electronic device. In one embodiment, an electronic device may include one or more memory locations having stored values representative of the capabilities of the device. According to an example configuration method, a configuring system may access the device capabilities from the one or more memory locations and configure the device based on the accessed device capabilities.
Claims31
A system comprising:
- a device including a plurality of memory locations, the plurality of memory locations including a set of memory locations encoded with device capability data;
- wherein the system is configured to access the device capability data from the set of memory locations and configure the device based on the device capability data.
A method comprising:
- accessing data stored in one or more registers of a plurality of registers, the accessed data including capability data representative of capabilities of a device;
- and
- automatically configuring the device based in part on the accessed capability data.
A device comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium having executable instructions encoded thereon, the executable instructions comprising:
- instructions to access data from a register of a device;
- instructions to determine capabilities of the device from the accessed data;
- and
- instructions to configure the device based on the determined capabilities.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- outputting, from a register of a device, capability data indicative of capabilities of the device;
- and
- receiving mappings of bits of a plurality of registers of the device to logic cells of the device according to the output capability data and one or more configuration formulas encoded in a memory storage medium.
