Method And System For Transferring Data Between A Host Device And An External Device

US Patent:
2012007, Mar 22, 2012
Filed:
Sep 16, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/884154
Inventors:
LOKESH JOHRI - SAN JOSE CA, US
SASIKALA DIVAKARUNI - CHENNAI, IN
ANDREW BARTLETT - MILL VALLEY CA, US
RICHARD W. HOLBROOK - PHOENIX AZ, US
Assignee:
STANDARD MICROSYSTEMS CORPORATION - HAUPPAUGE NY
International Classification:
G06F 17/30, G06F 12/02, G06F 12/00
US Classification:
707705, 711170, 707822, 711E12001, 711E12002, 707E1701
Abstract:
A method for transferring data between a host device and an external device is described. The external device has FAT32 file system. The method accepts parameters for an incoming data file from the host device. Further, the method allocates memory blocks for the incoming file data on the external device based on the parameters and indexes the allocated memory blocks on a memory index table to create a file footprint. The method reads the memory index table to identify the file footprint and receives the incoming file data from the host device.

Firmware Flashing Of A Portable Device Using A Serial Bus Hub

US Patent:
8601203, Dec 3, 2013
Filed:
Apr 22, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/765233
Inventors:
Richard W. Holbrook - Phoenix AZ, US
Jesse R. Lyles - Chandler AZ, US
Assignee:
Standard Microsystems Corporation - Hauppauge NY
International Classification:
G06F 12/00, G06F 13/00, G06F 13/28, G06F 9/44
US Classification:
711103, 711154, 717168
Abstract:
System and method for configuring a portable device. The portable device includes a serial bus hub, one or more processors coupled to the serial bus hub via a serial bus, and a flash memory coupled to the serial bus hub via the serial bus. A degraded signal is received to a serial bus hub included in the portable device via a serial bus, where the degraded signal includes code to be written to the flash memory to initialize or update firmware for the portable device. The serial bus hub restores the degraded signal, thereby generating a restored signal, and sends the restored signal to at least one of the one or more processors to initialize or update the firmware in the flash memory for the portable device.
