| Zusammenfassung: | A circuit for use in a computing system including a bus interface unit and an autoload controller. The autoload controller has an input to receive an initialization signal. In response to receiving the initialization signal, the autoload controller searches for a signature using the bus interface unit and, in response to finding the signature at a signature address, loads a plurality of base addresses corresponding to a plurality of controllers from memory locations having a predetermined relationship to the address, and provides the plurality of base addresses to a control output thereof. |
