Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatus for communication virtualized general-purpose input/output (GPIO) signals over a serial communication link. An apparatus includes a serial bus, and an originating device and destination device coupled to the serial bus. The originating device may be configured to generate a first virtual GPIO packet that carries a payload representative of signaling state of physical GPIO in the originating device, generate a second virtual GPIO packet that carries a payload representative of an event generated by a processor in the originating device, and transmit the first and second virtual GPIO packets on the serial bus. The destination device may be configured to receive the second virtual GPIO packet from the serial bus, and communicate the event to a processor of the destination device or modify signaling state of physical GPIO in the destination device in accordance with the payload of the second virtual GPIO packet.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for data communication performed at a destination device coupled to a serial bus, comprising:\n receiving a packet from the serial bus, the packet including virtual general-purpose input/output (GPIO) state information; decoding a transaction identifier provided in the packet; translating the virtual GPIO state information to a software event to be processed by the destination device when the transaction identifier has a first value; and changing state of a physical GPIO pin in the destination device based on the virtual GPIO state information when the transaction identifier has a second value.
