Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and devices for running network protocols over Peripheral Component Interconnect Express are disclosed. The methods and devices may receive an electronic signal comprising data. The methods and devices may also determine the data corresponds to a protocol selected from a set comprising a PCIe protocol and a network protocol. In addition, the methods and devices may also configure a CPU based on the determined protocol. The methods and devices may also receive a second electronic signal comprising second data at a pin or land of the CPU, wherein the pin or land is connected to a PCIe lane and wherein the second data is formatted in accordance with determined protocol. In addition, the methods and devices may process the second data in accordance with the determined protocol.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for an electronic system, comprising: receiving an electronic signal comprising data at a pin or land of a CPU; determining, utilizing the CPU, the data corresponds to a protocol selected from a set comprising a PCIe protocol and a network protocol; and configuring the CPU based on the determined protocol. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein configuring the CPU comprises configuring the CPU to run the determined protocol ut…
