摘要： Particular embodiments described herein can offer a method that includes powering down a root port; initiating a first downstream cycle by a central processing unit (CPU) to the root port; identifying a power up activity for the CPU; and triggering an exit flow for a power state in conjunction with sending a second downstream cycle to the root port. In more particular embodiments, the triggering of the exit flow for the power state and the sending of the second downstream cycle to the root port occurs in a substantially parallel fashion. In addition, a prewake indicator can be sent to the root port to trigger the exit flow before the CPU is powered up and the second downstream cycle is sent.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention describe a host system capable of associating a PCIe device and another separate device to the same device identifier (e.g., device number). A cycle routing module or logic will identify an I/O transaction involving the device identifier, and route the transaction to one or both of the devices (or, in some instances, identify the I/O transaction as a configuration transaction, and simply update the cycle routing module/logic only). In one embodiment of the invention, a root port of the host system is configured to operate as the above described cycle router.Embodiments of the invention allow for devices to be “merged” into a single device for the host OS. For example, a peripheral devices coupled to the host system via a PCIe link may be “merged” with a peripheral devices coupled to the host system via another PCIe link or a SATA link.
