METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING RESOURCES WITHIN A PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICE

摘要

A method and system for managing requests to resources among processors of a portable computing device (PCD) includes each master processor identifying a plurality of resources of the PCD in a storage device, such as a message RAM. This message RAM is part of the PCD. A master processor may identify desired states for the plurality of resources in the message RAM. Then, the master processor may generate an alert that the plurality of resources and desired states for resources have been set in the message RAM. After receiving the alert, a controller may determine if one or more previous requests have been processed to completion. If so, then the controller may review the contents of the message RAM to identify the plurality of resources and to identify the desired states of the resources. If appropriate, the controller may pass the desired states to the plurality of resources.
