Abstract

According to one exemplary embodiment, a system is provided. The system includes a system bridge, a host module including a central processing unit (CPU) coupled to the system bridge, a scalable serial bus coupled to the system bridge, a client controller coupled to the system bridge via the scalable serial bus, and first and second clients coupled to the client controller. The client controller is configured to interpret a communication received from the CPU and to provide the communication to the first client or to the second client based on a content of the communication. The scalable serial bus is configured such that each of the first and second clients have access to the scalable serial bus during respective time slots. The scalable serial bus is configured to scale at least one of a data transfer rate of the scalable serial bus, a number of channels on the scalable serial bus, or a bus width of the scalable serial bus.
