Selective fault recovery of subsystems

摘要

Various embodiments are described herein with regards to performing a selective fault recovery for an electronic device having a plurality of subsystems in which one of the subsystems has a fault. The selective fault recovery techniques described herein allow a user to use non-faulty subsystem of the electronic device while selective fault recovery is being conducted on the subsystem having the fault.

主权项

1. A method of selective fault recovery during operation of an electronic device, wherein the method comprises:
detecting a fault in a subsystem of the electronic device; performing a state reset of the subsystem having the detected fault; performing a power reset of the subsystem having the detected fault when the fault persists after performing the state reset of the subsystem having the detected fault; notifying a user of the electronic device of the fault when the fault persists after performing the power reset of the subsystem having the detected fault and providing the user with an option to perform a reset of the system; performing a state reset of the system upon receiving approval for performing the reset of the system; performing a power reset of the system when the fault persists after performing the state reset of the system; wherein if approval is not received for performing the reset of the system or the fault persists after performing the power reset of the system, the method further comprises: powering down the subsystem having the detected fault; and notifying the user that the subsystem having the detected fault is not functional.
