摘要： A system having an I/O interconnect topology utilizes internal packetized communications. The system includes a host system element, a plurality of switching elements, and a root complex to bridge communications between the host system and the switching elements. The ports of at least some of the switching elements have a cross-link device associated therewith, which is a logical device defined by configuration space of the switching element. Each cross-link device defines a cross-link communication path between two switching elements of the hierarchy allowing communications between peripherals to bypass the host.

摘要： A method for accessing a configuration data space for a device connected to a processor through an interconnect includes receiving a request from the processor to access the processor's addressable space. The request is generated in response to receiving an instruction intended to access the device's configuration data space. A map between the device's configuration data space and the processor's addressable space is accessed, the map having previously mapped the device's configuration data space to one or more pages of the processor's addressable space. Using the map, the request from the processor is translated into a configuration cycle on the interconnect to access the device's configuration data space.

摘要： Automatic-switching and deployment of software (SW)- or firmware (FW)-based USB4 connection managers (CMs) and associated methods, apparatus, software and firmware. A handshake is defined between BIOS and an operating system (OS) to discover supported CM capability and dynamically switch from a FW CM to a SW CM and visa verse if there is a mismatch. In addition, a mechanism is defined to deploy the correct FW or SW CM driver based on class code, 2-part or 4-part ID. Support for continued USB4 operation during an OS upgrade or downgrade is provided, while ensuring that the best possible CM solution is used based on the advertised platform and OS capability. USB4 controllers support a pass-through mode under which the host controller FW redirects control packets sent between an SW CM and a USB4 fabric, and a FW CM mode under which control packets are communicated between the host controller FW and the USB4 fabric to configure USB4 peripheral devices and/or USB4 hubs in the USB4 fabric.

摘要： Bridge logic is provided to receive a request from a device, where the request references an address of a secondary address space. The secondary address space corresponds to a subset of addresses in a configuration address space of a system, and the secondary address space corresponds to a first view of the configuration address space. The bridge logic uses a mapping table to translate the address into a corresponding address in the configuration address space, where addresses of the configuration address space correspond to a different second view of the configuration address space.
