Provide wake-up logic to wake up an electronic device from a lower power mode

摘要

An electronic device (100) comprises a network interface controller (102) and an input / output controller (110, 202) having a connection layer. A portion of the input / output controller is configured to be turned off during a lower power mode of the electronic device, the first portion including the connection layer. A wake-up logic (108) separate from the input / output controller receives a wake-up message from the network interface controller in response to the physical layer receiving a wake-up message on the network while the electronic device is in the lower power mode. The wake-up logic activates a message to wake up the electronic device from the lower power mode in response to the wakeup message from the network interface controller.
