Appl. No.:

09/742372

Inventors:

Ming Y. Li - Mahwah NJ

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 1100

US Classification:

714 30, 714 36, 714733

Abstract:

A system and method is provided for detecting defects in an embedded architecture or micro-processor based system. A look-up table, located with in a programmable logic device, is accessed to obtain a value for a particular byte of a predetermined data pattern. The predetermined data pattern is associated with data from a bus coupled to the programmable logic device. The accessed value of the predetermined data pattern is compared to data that is received by the programmable logic device from a memory coupled to the programmable logic device via the bus. An alarm mechanism, to indicate an improper data comparison, is triggered based upon the comparison of the predetermined data pattern and the data received from the memory.

Abstract:

A GPS-enabled cellular electronic device is operated in an indoor mode. An increase in strength of a cellular signal is detected at the GPS-enabled cellular electronic device. Responsive at least to the increase in cellular signal strength, the GPS-enabled cellular electronic device is transitioned to an outdoor testing mode. Detecting is carried out to determine whether movement of the GPS-enabled cellular electronic device occurs during the outdoor testing mode. If so, the GPS-enabled cellular electronic device is transitioned to an outdoor mode.
