Abstract
A self-configuring peripheral interface system and method are provided wherein at least one peripheral device may be coupled to a master device across a physical interface. The at least one peripheral device includes relocatable device driver code embodied as read only memory code and an associated peripheral functional component. The relocatable device driver code allows the master device to communicate with the associated peripheral functional component when copied from the peripheral device to an available device driver memory space accessible by the master device. The master device activates logic to automatically initiate copying of the relocatable device driver code from the at least one peripheral device when the at least one peripheral device is coupled to the master device via the physical interface.
