Data processing unit with transparent root complex
Abstract:
Computing apparatus includes a central processing unit (CPU) and a root complex connected to the CPU and to a first peripheral component bus, which has at least a first downstream port for connection to at least one peripheral device. Switching logic has an upstream port for connection to a second downstream port on a second peripheral component bus of a host computer, and is connected to the root complex so that when a peripheral device is connected to the first downstream port on the first peripheral component bus, the switching logic presents the peripheral device to the host computer in an address space of the second peripheral component bus.
