Abstract
A method for emulating a command for communication with an input/output (I/O) port includes receiving the command from a host and redirecting the command to a microcontroller, whereby the microcontroller emulates the command by communicating with the I/O port.
Claims23
A method for emulating a command for communication with an input/output (I/O) port, comprising:
- receiving the command from a host;
- and
- redirecting the command to a microcontroller, whereby the microcontroller emulates the command by communicating with the I/O port.
A system for emulating a command sent by a host for communication with an input/output (I/O) port, comprising:
- a processor;
- a microcontroller;
- and
- a controller in communication with the processor and the microcontroller, the controller configured to redirect the command, whereby the controller emulates the command by communicating with the I/O port via the microcontroller.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a representation of a circuit, the computer-readable representation comprising logic to emulate a command sent by a host for communication with an input/output (I/O) port, the logic comprising:
- a receiving code segment for receiving the command from the host;
- and
- a redirecting code segment for redirecting the command to a microcontroller, whereby the microcontroller emulates the command by communicating with the I/O port.
A hardware section for emulating a command for communication with an input/output (I/O) port, the hardware section configured to:
- receive the command from a host;
- and
- redirect the command, whereby the hardware section emulates the command by communicating with the I/O port via a microcontroller.
