ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for hardware controlling of an electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) are described herein. Aspects of the invention may include generating a clock signal at a frequency suitable for EEPROM operation and resetting an EEPROM utilizing the generated clock signal and a hardware generated data signal without initiation by a central processing unit (CPU). The resetting may occur via a virtual CPU. The CPU and the virtual CPU may be integrated on a single chip. The signal generation and EEPROM resetting may occur via a virtual CPU integrated within a finite state machine. A frequency counter may be utilized to generate a clock signal from a clock source having a higher frequency than that required by the EEPROM.
