Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus having a computing device with a plurality of serial transmit pins corresponding to a plurality of module locations and methods performed thereon. The computing device is configured to perform operations including selecting a module location from the plurality of module locations, to yield a selected module location and repeating: transmitting, via a one of the plurality of serial transmit pins corresponding to the selected module location, an address for the selected module location; and updating the selected module location to correspond to a next module location of the plurality of module locations.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a computing device with a plurality of serial transmit pins corresponding to a plurality of module locations, the computing device configured to perform operations comprising:
- selecting a module location from the plurality of module locations, to yield a selected module location;
- and
- repeating:
- transmitting, via a one of the plurality of serial transmit pins corresponding to the selected module location, an address for the selected module location;
- and
- updating the selected module location to correspond to a next module location of the plurality of module locations.
A method comprising:
- selecting a module location from a plurality of module locations, to yield a selected module location;
- and
- repeating:
- transmitting, via a one of a plurality of serial transmit pins corresponding to the selected module location, an address for the selected module location;
- and
- updating the selected module location to correspond to a next module location of the plurality of module locations.
A computer-readable storage device having instructions stored which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- selecting a module location from a plurality of module locations, to yield a selected module location;
- and
- repeating:
- transmitting, via a one of a plurality of serial transmit pins corresponding to the selected module location, an address for the selected module location;
- and
- updating the selected module location to correspond to a next module location of the plurality of module locations.
