Abstract:
Systems, apparatus, methods and techniques that can provide optimized low-latency communications between different devices such that GPIO signals may be carried as virtual signals. A virtual GPIO finite state machine in a first device is provided that can consolidate GPIO-related events by initiating a wait period after a first-occurring event and that has a duration selected to permit one or more later-occurring events to be detected before transmission of virtual GPIO data over a data communication bus to a second device. One method may include initiating a wait period after detecting a first change in GPIO state, refraining from transmitting virtual GPIO data during the wait period, detecting occurrence of a second change in GPIO state during the wait period, and transmitting virtual GPIO data corresponding to the first and second changes in GPIO state over the serial bus after the wait period has expired.

Claim (Index 27):
A storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:\n detect occurrence of a first event corresponding to a change in general purpose input/output (GPIO) state in a device coupled to a communication link; initiate a wait period when occurrence of the first event is detected; refrain from transmitting virtual GPIO data corresponding to the first event during the wait period, wherein refraining from transmitting the virtual GPIO data includes foregoing an opportunity to transmit the virtual GPIO data during the wait period, wherein the communication link is idle during at least a portion of the wait period; detect occurrence of a second event corresponding to a different change in GPIO state, the second event occurring during the wait period and after the first event; and transmit virtual GPIO data corresponding to the first event and the second event over the communication link after the wait period has expired.
