Method and system to facilitate data transfer to a device
First Claim
1. A method to facilitate data transfer to a line replaceable unit that lacks a transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) interface, the method comprising:
- interfacing a memory-processing card to the line replaceable unit, the memory-processing card including;
a memory,a central processing unit module,an interface to the line replaceable unit,an external-card interface to an access point communicatively coupled to the central processing unit module, anda bus arbitrator operable to determine an ON/OFF state of the interfaced line replaceable unit, the bus arbitrator communicatively coupled to the memory, the central processing unit module, and the interfaces;
determining a state of the line replaceable unit responsive to the interfacing;
providing the central processing unit module with access to the memory when the determined state of the line replaceable unit is OFF; and
providing the line replaceable unit with access to the memory when the determined state of the line replaceable unit is ON.

Abstract
A method to facilitate data transfer to a line replaceable unit that lacks a transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) interface is provided. The method comprises interfacing a memory-processing card to the line replaceable unit. The memory-processing card includes a memory, a central processing unit module, an interface to the line replaceable unit, an interface to an access point communicatively coupled to the central processing unit module, and a bus arbitrator communicatively coupled to the memory, the central processing unit module, and the interfaces. The method also includes determining a state of the line replaceable unit at the bus arbitrator responsive to the interfacing, providing access at the bus arbitrator from the central processing unit module to the memory when the determined state of the line replaceable unit is OFF, and providing access at the bus arbitrator from the line replaceable unit to the memory when the determined state of the line replaceable unit is ON.

10. A memory-processing card for transferring data from a remote server to a computing device that lacks a transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) interface, the memory-processing card comprising:
-
a computing-device interface configured to mate with an interface in the computing device; an external-card interface to an access point; a bus arbitrator to determine an ON/OFF state of the interfaced computing device; a memory communicatively coupled to the bus arbitrator; and a central processing unit module communicatively coupled to the external-card interface, wherein the central processing unit module has access to the memory when the determined state of the computing device is, and wherein the computing device has access to the memory when the determined state of the computing device is ON. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system to facilitate data transfer to a line replaceable unit that lacks a transmission control protocol/Internet protocol interface, the system comprising:
-
the line replaceable unit; a memory-processing card communicatively coupled to the line replaceable unit; and an access point communicatively coupled to the memory-processing card, wherein data from a remote server is downloaded to the memory-processing card when the memory-processing card determines the line replaceable unit is powered down. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
