HARDWARE COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION

摘要

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a circuit assembly includes multiple circuit board contacts, each having a first portion and a second portion where the first and second portions are conductively isolated from each other. The circuit assembly includes multiple component contacts attached to a hardware component, each touching a respective one of the multiple circuit board contacts. Each component contact is either a conductive contact that conductively bridges the first portion and second portion of the respective circuit board contact, or a non-conductive contact that leaves the first portion and second portion conductively isolated. The circuit assembly includes a hardware monitor electrically or communicatively coupled to the multiple circuit board contacts to detect a configuration or number of conductive versus non-conductive contacts used for the multiple component contacts to identify the hardware component.
