Abstract

See full text

A controller includes a communications interface configured to communicatively couple a host to a computer expansion bus configured to perform peripheral device enumeration and configuration. The computer expansion bus is configured to communicatively couple the host to a peripheral device. The controller also includes a processor configured to facilitate enumeration and configuration by the host of the peripheral device. The controller further includes a memory having computer executable instructions stored thereon. The computer executable instructions are configured for execution by the processor to facilitate enumeration and configuration of a topology associated with the communicative coupling between the host and the peripheral device, where the topology is enumerated and configured by the host.
