Abstract
A system for autonomously configuring peer devices without unnecessary delay in boot up time using a compatibility bridge. Upon initiating a configuration cycle, the compatibility bridge monitors the status of the configuration cycle on the host bus. The compatibility bridge determines whether and when to forward the configuration cycle to another bus, e.g., a PCI bus. The system records the presence or absence of a particular device by setting a respective bit in a scorecard register and scorecard valid register.
