  2. Software protection dongle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_protection_dongle

    Some software developers use traditional USB flash drives as software license dongles that contain hardware serial numbers in conjunction with the stored device ID strings, which are generally not easily changed by an end-user. A developer can also use the dongle to store user settings or even a complete "portable" version of the application.

    No device detected. Both lines are pulled down by 15 kΩ pull-down resistors on the host side. SE0 ≥ 2 μs Connect USB device pulls up either D+ or D− to wake the host from the detached line state. This starts the USB enumeration process. This sets the idle state. D− pull-up D+ pull-up As full speed, then chirp in reset: Idle / J

  4. Error detection and correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_detection_and_correction

    Error-correcting codes are usually distinguished between convolutional codes and block codes: Convolutional codes are processed on a bit-by-bit basis. They are particularly suitable for implementation in hardware, and the Viterbi decoder allows optimal decoding. Block codes are processed on a block-by-block basis.

  5. USB hardware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hardware

    The OTG device with the A-plug inserted is called the A-device and is responsible for powering the USB interface when required, and by default assumes the role of host. The OTG device with the B-plug inserted is called the B-device and by default assumes the role of peripheral. An OTG device with no plug inserted defaults to acting as a B-device.

  6. Device driver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_driver

    Writing a device driver requires an in-depth understanding of how the hardware and the software works for a given platform function. Because drivers require low-level access to hardware functions in order to operate, drivers typically operate in a highly privileged environment and can cause system operational issues if something goes wrong.

  7. USB mass storage device class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_mass_storage_device_class

    The Linux kernel has supported USB mass-storage devices since version 2.3.47 [3] (2001, backported to kernel 2.2.18 [4]).This support includes quirks and silicon/firmware bug workarounds as well as additional functionality for devices and controllers (vendor-enabled functions such as ATA command pass-through for ATA-USB bridges, used for S.M.A.R.T. or temperature monitoring, controlling the ...

  8. Key Code Qualifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_Code_Qualifier

    Key Code Qualifier is an error-code returned by a SCSI device. When a SCSI target device returns a check condition in response to a command, the initiator usually then issues a SCSI Request Sense command. This process is part of a SCSI protocol called Contingent Allegiance Condition.

  9. Single point of failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_point_of_failure

    The concept of a single point of failure has also been applied to fields outside of engineering, computers, and networking, such as corporate supply chain management [6] and transportation management. [7] Design structures that create single points of failure include bottlenecks and series circuits (in contrast to parallel circuits).
