Abstract:
A device includes a plurality of ports and a plurality of capability registers that correspond to a respective one of the plurality of ports. The device is to connect to one or more processors of a host device through the plurality of ports, and each of the plurality of ports comprises a respective protocol stack to support a respective link between the corresponding port and the host device according to a particular interconnect protocol. Each of the plurality of capability registers comprises a respective set of fields for use in configuration of the link between its corresponding port and one of the one or more processors of the host device. The fields include a field to indicate an association between the port and a particular processor, a field to indicate a port identifier for the port, and a field to indicate a total number of ports of the device.
