Abstract
When a main processor issues a command to co-processor, a timeout value is included in the command. As the co-processor attempts to execute the command, it is determined whether the attempt is taking time beyond what is permitted by the timeout value. If the timeout is exceeded then responsive action is taken, such as the generation of a command timeout type failure message. The receipt of the command with the timeout value, and the consequent determination of a timeout condition for the command, may be determined by: the co-processor that receives the command, or a watchdog timer that is separate from the co-processor. Also, detection of co-processor hang and/or hung co-processor conditions during the time that a co-processor is executing a command for the main processor.
