摘要
Examples relate to edge device disablement. In some examples, edge device disablement includes an edge device including a processing resource in communication with a memory resource including instructions executable to receive an indication of a disablement trigger associated with the edge device and responsive to the indication, reprogram a printed circuit assembly (PCA) of the edge device to render mechanisms of the PCA inoperable.
說明書
Edge computing includes performing data processing at an edge of a network, near a source of the data. Analytics and knowledge generation are performed at or near the source of the data. Edge computing pushes applications, data, and computing power away from centralized points to edges of a network.
Edge systems including edge devices can be deployed in remote locations under different security measures as compared to datacenters including datacenter devices. For instance, datacenters may have protocols for access and movement of people and datacenter assets that may be challenging for edge systems based on their locations and/or design.
權利要求
What is claimed is:1. An edge device comprising a processing resource in communication with a memory resource including instructions executable to:receive an indication of a disablement trigger associated with the edge device; and responsive to the indication, reprogram a printed circuit assembly (PCA) of the edge device to render mechanisms of the PCA inoperable within one second. 2. The edge device of claim 1 , wherein the mechanisms comprise hardware components and software components. 3. The edge device of claim 1 , further comprising a management processor embedded in the edge device to initiate the indication of the disablement trigger. 4. The edge device of claim 1 , wherein the disablement trigger comprises a triggered physical sensor. 5. The edge device of claim 1 , wherein the disablement trigger comprises a triggered software sensor. 6. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to cause a computing system to:receive an indication of a disablement trigger associated with an edge device; and responsive to the indication, render a printed circuit assembly (PCA) associated with the edge device inoperable in one second or less, the rendering comprising instructions executable to:disable power rails associated with the PCA; hold a device associated with the edge device in reset; and disable a programming interface on the PCA. 7. The medium of claim 6 , wherein the instructions executable to render the PCA inoperable comprise instructions executable to render hardware associated with the PCA inoperable. 8. The medium of claim 6 , wherein the instructions executable to render the PCA inoperable comprise instructions executable to render software associated with the PCA inoperable. 9. The medium of claim 6 , wherein the instructions executable to hold the device associated with the edge device in reset comprise instructions executable to hold a management processor embedded in the edge device in reset. 10. The medium of claim 6 , wherein the instructions executable to hold the device associated with the edge device in reset comprise instructions executable to hold a compute resource associated with the edge device in reset. 11. A method, comprising:receiving indication of a disablement trigger of an edge device at a first time, wherein the disablement trigger is a triggered sensor; responsive to the indication, reprogramming a printed circuit assembly (PCA) of the edge device at a second time;wherein the reprogramming is to:render software and hardware components of the PCA inoperable; and disable a programming interface on the PCA to render programmable portions of the programming interface non-reprogrammable; and wherein a time elapsed between a first time and a second time is at most one second. 12. The method of claim 11 , wherein receiving indication of the disablement trigger comprises receiving indication of a triggered location sensor. 13. The method of claim 11 , wherein receiving indication of the disablement trigger comprises receiving indication of a triggered tamper sensor. 14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising receiving indication of the disablement trigger from a management processor embedded on the edge device. 15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the method is non-destructive to the edge device and the PCA. 16. The method of claim 11 , wherein receiving indication of the disablement trigger comprises receiving indication of the disablement trigger via remote user input. 17. The method of claim 11 , further comprising reprogramming the PCA such that the hardware and the software components of the PCA are recoverable only by a manufacturer of the edge device.
