Abstract:
A computing device includes an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) module configured to perform I2C communication with an external device through a system management bus, a packet generator module configured to transmit a packet to the I2C module through the system management bus, and an I2C controller configured to control operations of the I2C module and the packet generator module. When the I2C module transmits a packet receiving signal to the I2C controller and the I2C controller does not receive the packet receiving signal for a set period of time, the I2C controller may reset the I2C module.
