摘要: Embodiments of the present invention relate to providing system management and control chipset modules using an external micro controller. In embodiment invention, a SMB buffer read command including address may be received from micro-controller. Internal bus access requested arbiter. If is granted, sent module identified by address. The at least one plurality having associated data log related operation module. contents with forwarded
