Abstract: A method for building a configuration signature for an input/output (I/O) device is described herein. The configuration signature is built based on descriptors of an I/O device and save to a host after an initial connection. After the initial connection, the I/O device may be subjected to modifications. To determine if such modifications exist, the descriptors of the I/O device are compared to the configuration signature after the initial connection.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for reliable detection and enumeration of devices. In one embodiment, the controller comprises serialized bus protocol (e.g., a Universal Serial Bus (USB)) controller capable of supporting different bus architectures (e.g., USB 2.0 and USB 3.0) of the USB protocol (e.g., eXtensible Host Controller Interface (xHCI) controller). In one variant, when a USB-compliant device is detected over multiple bus architectures of a controller, the controller waits an additional period to allow the device to properly identify which bus architecture to use. After the time period has elapsed, if the device has been determined to be connected over the USB 3.0 bus architecture, the controller waits an additional period of time before enumerating the device. If the device is still present on the USB 3.0 bus architecture, the device continues to enumerate as a USB 3.0 advice to be made available to a host system.
