Abstract:
A serial low-power inter-chip media bus communications link is deployed in apparatus having multiple Integrated Circuit devices. Communications capabilities of a device coupled to the communications link may be determined and configuration or framing message may be sent to the first device based on the capabilities. The messages may be transmitted on a primary data line of the communications link with a clock used to control timing of transmission on at least the primary data line. The communications capabilities can include information identifying a number of data wires supported by or coupled to the device. A first device may be configured to communicate with a second device over a secondary data line, which may be reserved for such direct communication. Communications on the secondary data line may be synchronized using the clock signal and may be controlled by a different protocol than the protocol used for the primary data line.

Claim (Index 11):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a communication interface configured to couple the apparatus to a first device and to a second device through a serial bus operable in accordance with one or more I3C protocols; a bus interface; and a processing circuit configured to:\n determine communications capabilities of a first device coupled to a serial bus operable in accordance with one or more I3C protocols, wherein the communications capabilities identify a number of data wires coupled to the first device, including one or more secondary data lines that couple the first device and a second device; \n send a message to the first device over a primary data line of the serial bus; and \n providing a clock signal that controls timing of transmission on at least the primary data line, \n wherein the message includes information configured to reserve the secondary data line for communications between the first device and the second device and causes the first device to be configured for communication with the second device over the secondary data line.
