HARDWARE CONFIGURATION APPARATUS

摘要

A hardware configuration apparatus is provided. The hardware configuration apparatus is a part of a hardware system and the hardware system includes at least one function. The hardware configuration apparatus includes an interface unit, a resolution unit, and an output generation unit. For each function of the hardware system, the resolution unit generates a current setting corresponding to the function based on a default setting corresponding to the function and function settings of a plurality of secure configuration entries (SCEs) corresponding to the function. The interface unit is coupled to the resolution unit and a storage storing the SCEs. The interface unit provides the SCEs to the resolution unit. The output generation unit is coupled to the resolution unit. For each function of the hardware system, the output generation unit outputs a configuration signal to enable or disable the function according to the current setting corresponding to the function.
