ABSTRACT:
A maintenance interface is provided for interfacing a service processor and a central processing unit operating asynchronously to each other. The maintenance interface includes circuitry for synchronizing the service processor to the central processing unit and decode circuitry for interpreting commands from the service processor. The maintenance interface also includes circuitry responsive to control signals from the central processing unit such that the maintenance interface establishes communication between the service processor and the central processing unit. The central processing unit includes a microprocessor for interpreting data sent between the service processor and the central processing unit. The maintenance interface is responsive to control signals from the central processing unit to resolve communication contention between the central processing unit and the service processor. The maintenance interface further facilitates the use of the LSSD testing procedure by degating central processing unit interfaces as required for this testing approach.
