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; a bus manager; and a processing circuit configured to:\n determine communication capabilities of a first device coupled to a serial bus, wherein the communication capabilities identify a plurality of lines coupled to the first device including a primary data line and a secondary data line, wherein the secondary data line couples the first device to a second device; and \n send a configuration message from a third device over the primary data line, wherein the configuration message includes control information configured to reserve the secondary data line for communication between the first device and the second device; and \n providing a clock signal that controls timing of transmissions in a plurality of time slots defined for at least the primary data line.
