Abstract:
An interface device receives at least one access command with at least one corresponding slave address on a bus. The interface device reads a configuration register, and responsive to the reading of the configuration register, the interface device selects one of a plurality of interface architecture configurations. The interface architecture configurations allow the interface device to operate as either a single physical interface entity or as multiple virtual interface entities. The interface device processes the access command according to the selected interface architecture configuration.
